Now I know why some like it ... Hidden message inside .. Yahoo news: Human tongue has a sixth taste sense! London, June 11 (IANS) In addition to recognising sweet, sour, salty, savory (umami), and bitter tastes, your tongue has a sixth taste sense - the "sense of carbs" - that allows you to perceive carbohydrates -- the nutrients that break down into sugar and form the main source of energy. The "sense of carbs" also triggers the pleasure centre of the brain and could explain why people often find diet foods unsatisfying, a research shows. "The mouth is a more capable sensory organ than we currently appreciate, able to distinguish carbohydrates from artificial sweeteners when both taste identical," said Nicholas Gant from University of Auckland in New Zealand. Carbohydrates are extremely powerful stimuli that have profound and immediate effects on the brain and the systems it controls, Gant added. For the study, researchers asked participants to squeeze a sensor held between their right index finger and thumb when shown a visual cue. At the same time, the participants' tongues were rinsed with one of three different fluids. The first two were artificially sweetened - to identical tastes - but with only one containing carbohydrate. The third, a control, was neither sweet nor carb-loaded. When the carbohydrate solution was used, the researchers observed a 30 percent increase in activity for the brain areas that control movement and vision. This reaction, they propose, is caused by our mouths reporting that additional energy in the form of carbohydrates is coming. "This 'sixth taste sense' for carbohydrate is likely one of many additional food qualities that are detectable by receptors in the mouth," Gant was quoted as saying in media reports. The study is set to appear in a forthcoming issue of the journal Appetite. link: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/human-tongue-sixth-taste-sense-112609350.html Why need a researchers to tell us this ...

Second time in about one and a half months, saw a team of people positioned on both sides of the road near the intersection with Bukit Timah Road. They were equipped with manual counters and video cameras, and also bright yellow caps! Too professional and organised for any other purpose. At last, the government going after the elite!

Two men died in a burning car along Sixth Avenue at about 4am on Saturday (25 August). STOMPer Tony Hew, who saw the car burst into flames and took this photo at 4.07am, said: "There was no chance for anyone in the car." "Car went off the road at Sixth Avenue, hit a tree before landing in the monsoon drain alongside it. "It burst into flames almost immediately and there was no chance for anyone in the car," the STOMPer said in an email at 11am today. STOMP contacted the Police, which said the vehicle hit the boundary wall of a housing unit along Sixth Avenue, in the direction of Holland Road. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said one man was found trapped in the driver seat and the other in the front passenger seat when rescuers arrived at the scene within seven minutes of a call about a car on fire. It said the two men were pronounced dead at 4.35am. The SCDF said it received a call about a car on fire at 4.02am. "The SCDF responded with two fire bikes, one fire engine and one ambulance to a car fire along Sixth Avenue, towards Bukit Timah," it said at about 11am today. "Upon arrival at the incident site at 4.09am, SCDF firefighters saw a car engulfed in flames and proceeded immediately to extinguish the fire. "The fire was swiftly extinguished by SCDF within 5 minutes using 1 water jet and 2 impulse guns. "SCDF firefighters found 2 male casualties trapped in the driver seat and the front passenger seat.
