Forget about carcinogenic lotions, it looks like the human body is attacking itself.

Having extra taste buds used to be a godsend -- all your favorite foods were all so much better! But as fate it would have it, the super tasters are cancer-bound too. Scientists are suggesting that every 1 in 4 person has extra taste buds, which consequently, is associated with obesity and colon cancer.

According to Associated Content, because super tasters have double the amount of taste buds a regular person does, they are super sensitive to strong flavors. These bionic taste buds make foods like cruciferous vegetables overpoweringly strong thus making them less appealing.

The fine folks at the BBC have come to the rescue and have posted a super taster test on their website that determines if one is a doomed super taster. People with personal or family history of colon cancer are especially and strongly advised to take the test to determine whether or not they belong to the Terrifying Taste Bud Guild.
 

Note to those who tested positive: You can still retrain your taste buds, so remember to eat a head of broccoli a day to keep the cancer far, far away.
