Consider PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) taste testing as an excellent example. I believe your sense of taste is genetically programmed. PTC trials show many distinctive tastes from the same chemical substance! 16 people in a group can have entirely different taste sensations. No taste at all, Sweet, sour, bitter, salt, combinations of tastes, and latency or persistence, etc. {Consider antibiotic product(s).} Viva la difference! -- Dale Dutcher () Cybermed Immunization System "The Cybermed Immunization System Never Misses an Opportunity to Vaccinate" Visit our web-site today. http://www.asciinc.com (800) ASCIInc (800-272-4462) (919) 362-0676 FAX
