Anyone else have a lack of taste alleles?

If your not sure what those are, they're basically what determine how things taste like and allow you to taste certain things. I found out a couple years ago in biology with some weird paper. Me and 1 other person ate the paper and to us, it was just normal paper. No taste no nothing.

When I looked around everyone else was spitting the thing out and complaining about a horrible taste. The teacher then told us that the ones who didn't taste anything lack some big taste receptors and taste many foods differently.

Coincidentally I've always been picky eater...So my question is does anyone else know they lack taste alleles and is also a picky eater?

Answers:
I know the paper you're talking about tasting (or not tasting in your case). Don't get too worked up about it. Just because you couldn't taste the paper doesn't mean you lack taste alleles. Alleles are just one form of a gene in your DNA sequence. Just because you couldn't taste the paper, don't mean you can't taste, it just means you have a different form of taste. It may be related to your picky eating, but who knows for sure.

I know that there is a tremendous lack of taste in the world regardless of allele count.
