This article has been updated to include an interview with Dr. Amin Javer.
In yet another questionable series of videos, TikTok users are claiming that eating an orange burned to a blackened crisp will help with taste loss that’s sometimes a result of COVID-19., user @katie.kotlowski explains that she and her roommate both lost their sense of taste after contracting COVID. To try and regain their sense, they put an orange directly on the heating element of their stove until it turns black, then peel it, mash it up and add brown sugar.
Dr. Amin Javer, the Director of St. Paul’s Sinus Centre and Professor of Surgery at University of British Columbia medical school, says that this trick seems purely anecdotal. “I don’t think there’s any real hard evidence to support the claim,” Javer explains. “It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.”
