Such pseudoscience.

Water is also found in both vomit and chocolate.

They didn't provide any quote suggesting butyrate tastes like vomit, or gives vomit its distinctive flavor - just that it provides a tang, like /all acids do/. You wouldn't say that sour butter or Parmesan taste like vomit, but those were also listed as containing butyrate.

Actually I think parmesan does taste a bit like vomit. I think it's pretty well known - if you google "parmesan tastes" the first autocomplete is "like vomit"

I also think Hershey chocolate tastes a bit like vomit. Parmesan cheese too. I wonder if it is a genetic thing that only some can taste, like the bitterness in Brussel sprouts.

It's not like all vomit tastes the same either, but that's something that people somehow fail to take into account unless they've been on a couple of benders.

Butyric acid is one of the main "notes" of butter. Especially when being melted.

This whole article is absolutely ridiculous.
