TOXINS X NAUSEA

We also anticipate the ingestion of toxins. Many toxins taste bitter, and toxins or poisons also make us feel sick and nauseated. It is interesting that strong bitter tastes are sufficient to induce nausea and also to cause the stomach to stop its normal rhythmic churning. 16 So we anticipate incoming toxins when we taste strong bitter tastes by experiencing the punishing effects of nausea, readying us to regurgitate, and by trapping the contents of the stomach, preventing us from absorbing what we ingested. These preparations for incoming toxins can be lifesaving.
