How many sweet taste buds are on the human tongue?

There's a common misconception that different parts of the tongue are responsible for different tastes. This is not true!

All taste buds on the tongue can detect all five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.

Therefore, it's not possible to say how many taste buds specifically detect sweetness.

However, we can tell you that:

* There are roughly 10,000 taste buds on the average human tongue.

* These taste buds are distributed across the tongue, soft palate, and even the back of the throat.

It's important to remember that taste is a complex sense, and many factors influence how we perceive flavors, including smell, texture, and temperature.
