    The so-called suffering is human beings.

    Come to the self in the brain.

    React. The drug acts on your tongue, and those taste receptors send signals to the brain, and you feel bitter. But why not sweetness?

    Because in the process of long-term evolution, human ancestors must encounter those active alkaloids that exist in nature (mentioned above), and these things do not need to be liked and eaten too much for human survival, so the brain defines the taste of this large group of substances as bitter (in short, unpleasant taste); Foods containing energy substances, such as fruits with high sugar content, were not often seen by the ancients, so in order to let him love to eat, eat more when he has the opportunity, and have more chances to survive, the brain defined these substances as sweet.

    With these functions, the human ancestors survived the fittest and slowly evolved to what they are today. Any chemical structure that has not been seen indicates that it is not helpful for survival, and whether it is harmful or harmless, it is defined as bitter.

    However, the above process has taken place over millions of years, and the substances synthesized by humans today are no longer fully applicable. For example, various artificial sweeteners trick taste receptors into making the brain react wrongly.
