From what I understand, people’s likes and dislikes change from when they are younger to when they are older. For example, when I was younger, I hated the taste of mustard. I thought that it was super bitter, but now I find that I put mustard on anything that I can. I can’t explain why because I don’t think I’ve sense an actual change in its taste. Similarly, my friend said that she could not stand the artificial “blue raspberry” flavor when she was growing up. However, now, blue raspberry is her favorite flavor when it comes to sweets.
Why do we have these changes in flavor preferences?

I wonder how much of it has to do with hormones. When I started perimenopause my taste in food changed, and then when actual menopause hit, they changed again. For the first time, I really want to drink beer and eat bread, and vegetables seem disgusting to me.
