Miracle Berry and Cancer Patients

It’s now been reported that cancer sufferers who are undergoing chemotherapy are also taking the miracle berry.

The reason for this is that cancer patients have reported they have a metallic taste in their mouth after sessions of chemotherapy as well as a loss of appetite because of this taste. They claim that after eating the miracle berry that the metallic taste disappears, thus they regain their appetite.

If this were true then it would probably be the result of the miraculin, maybe the same taste buds responsible for sour and bitter tastes are the ones that are tasting the metallic taste, and as the miraculin blocks these taste repceptors then that would result in the metallic taste disappearing.

This alternative us of the miracle berry was publicised on TV in the Richard and Judy Show Channel 4, United Kingdom
