As you aged did you become more sensitive to the taste of sugar and salt?

So many foods and desserts seem too sweet or too salty to me now. I find it interesting since I also think my taste sense dulled regarding strong flavors like strong cheeses or strong salad dressings.

I did cut back a little on salt for a while now, so maybe that is partly why high salt content is now blech.

What has been your experience with changing taste buds? I started to see the change in my early 50’s.
