I'd still like to know if the statistic you posted was the result of a study.
If so I'd like to see the link, just to understand the number of 75 year old seniors surveyed.
I'd also like to know the methodology used to figure out that the seniors only had 36% of their taste buds remaining.
By the way, I don't doubt that taste buds decline in the elderly, since hearing and sight often decline as well.
I just thought it odd that the Study was so specific to say that only 36% of taste buds remain.
