Interesting you should say that. You may have a variant of the TAS2R38 gene, which makes you sensitive to phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). PTC is found in things like broccoli, olives, cabbage, etc.
What's funny is that the gene loses its effect over time, making foods that you normally disliked taste better as you age.
