Hello Rah,

Welcomehere on hcm.

In my views Burns and toxins are the leading causes.

Smoking for instance contains nicotine a powerful neuro-toxin which is delivered in small doses.

After time it numbs all your senses including taste and smell which would lead to not being able to taste as well.

Thanks
