Eldorado 57,563 #1 Posted January 15 While, obviously, not all people hate cheese — a single French citizen ate about 25.9 kilograms of cheese per year in 2013 — the number of people who dislike cheese was high enough to surprise Jean-Pierre Royet, a neuroscientist and the author of what appears to be the first and only scientific study on the brains of cheese-haters. In his 2016 study "The Neural Bases of Disgust for Cheese: An fMRI Study," he found as many as 6 percent of 332 people disliked cheese so much that they were disgusted by it. The study tackles some big ideas in the world of cheese hatred. Part of the hatred, the study suggests, comes down to negative experiences with cheese, like the misery of lactose intolerance (18 percent of subjects said they had milk intolerance). However, some people find it purely disgusting, even without prior negative experiences. Full article at InVerse: Link 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susieice 39,595 #2 Posted January 15 I love cheese. Blue cheese dressing was an acquired taste. Some cheeses have an odor but nothing that I've really noticed. I haven't encountered Limburger though. Not sure if I could eat that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Susanc241 1,359 #9 Posted January 15 (edited) I like cheese but I loathe nuts, of any kind. The smell of peanuts makes me want to vomit. I have never liked them (nuts) ever, never had a bad experience with a nut (choking etc) so why, that’s what I would like to know? Why one person’s taste buds mean they love a flavour while someone else’s doesn’t. I am not allergic to them, having accidentally ingested them over the years. They seem to be in almost every recipe these days. Yuk, yuk, yuk! Edited January 15 by Susanc241 Spelling correction 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moonman 3,211 #10 Posted January 15 (edited) Cheese is a disgusting concept when you think about it. It's made from fluid that is squirted out of an animal, then it starts to rot. Honey is gross too, it's insect vomit. Edited January 15 by moonman 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
