Food preferences can be influenced by "language" our unique

Albert Einstein

An analysis of 3D images of human tongues suggests that each of us may have a "language footprint" unique just as we have individual fingerprints.

The research could help shed new light on why people's food preferences can be so varied, and help design healthier yet tasty alternatives to fatty or sugary foods.

Averaging about 10cm in length, with only the front two-thirds visible, our tongues are complex and sophisticated organs, covered in hundreds of tiny buds, known as papillae.

Some of these projections hold our taste buds, while others enable our tongues to sense texture, friction, lubrication, and touch.

They can also affect our psychological reactions to food.

Research can also help design personalized meals./ CNA
