Metallic-tasting Food
The buildup of wastes in the blood is called uremia. It occurs when your kidneys stop functioning properly and cause toxins to accumulate in your blood. Uremia can cause bad breath and make food taste different. Most people describe protein foods, like meat, tasting like metal or blood — so they tend to veer away from eating such things. In some cases, if you are not getting enough protein from plants and you stop the intake of meat proteins, you can experience muscle wasting, resulting in more weight loss due to the decrease of both fat and muscle. If food tastes like coins or blood, be sure to make an appointment to see your doctor.
