    After brushing one's teeth, why does orange juice taste foul?

    Question #104273. Asked by star_gazer. (Mar 30 09 5:12 PM)

    		Sodium lauryl sulfate—an effective foamer—acts as a taste modifier, temporarily suppressing the sweet receptors of the tongue, says Dr. Marci Pelchat of the Monell Chemical Senses Center. Since sweetness blocks bitter and sour flavors, its absence enhances the bitterness and sourness found in the citric acid of orange juice.
