The chemical senses of taste and smell play an important role in our lives, and disorders of these senses often have a major impact on a person's quality of life, diet, and overall health. In addition, changes in our chemosensory function are sometimes a signal of a more serious health problem. Obesity, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease are examples of major national health issues often accompanied or signaled by taste and smell problems.
