Pine mouth – For some people, pine nuts are a bitter pill
2 Comments 
I’ve been reading more and more reports recently of a little-known phenomenon –– something called ‘pine mouth.’ People who suffer from it find that within a day or two after eating pine nuts – popular additions to pasta dishes, salads and cookies – they develop a bitter, metallic taste in the mouth.
Not much is known about pine mouth – what might be the cause, exactly how the nuts are affecting the taste buds, whether a particular species of pine nut is to blame, or if the source of the pine nuts is the problem. People who suffer from pine mouth would sure like to know, since the effects can make everything taste terrible for as long as two weeks.
