Detailed explanation-1: -Some people can’t detect any tastes, which is called ageusia [ah-GYOO-zee-a].
Detailed explanation-2: -The medical term for a complete inability to taste is ageusia (uh-gyou-zee-uh). More people have hypogeusia, which means foods and drinks don’t taste as flavorful as they should. Taste buds become less sensitive after age 50. Foods may taste bitter even when they’re not.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ageusia refers to a complete loss of gustatory function, whereas hypogeusia refers to diminished sensitivity to detect a specific taste quality or class of compounds (e.g., phenylthiocarbamide).
Detailed explanation-4: -While dysgeusia refers to a distorted sense of taste, ageusia (uh-gyoo-zee-uh) refers to total loss of taste. Anosmia (an-oz-mee-uh) is characterized by partial or total loss of smell.
