The Aetiology of Olfactory Dysfunction and Its Relationship to Diet Quality
Brain Sciences, 2020 People with olfactory loss may choose foods rich in sugar, salt and fat to compensate their loss—foods that constitute a Western-style diet (WSD). However, olfactory dysfunction has not been consistently linked to any particular type of dietary change ...
