Actually as you age your taste buds do change from enviromental factors and illnesses you may have suffered. Actually if you are a smoker you may not feel a spicy food is spicy enough where a young child is spitting it out and screaming for water because their mouth is on fire. Because they have not lived long enough for effects to change their taste buds. Alot of people who I had known who quit smoking for several years were amazed how their likes and dislikes had changed about what they used to eat.

Is it something that changes with age?????
