Default Note to all the people who claim things don't smell/taste like they used to

Nort only that, but an attenuated send of smell/taste is normal with
normal aging too. Not just Alzheimer's disease. This is why often
elderly people may want to douse their foods with a lot of salt,
because they mistakenly believe it may hellp them taste the food
better, when actually it their own normal loss of sensitivity to the
flavors!
