I doubt that, properly applied, it really does.

On the other hand, coke-a-cola in virginia tastes different than
coke-a-cola in utah, and I hear that's because they use cane sugar. Or were
8 years ago when i visited virginia.

I can taste the difference between cane sugar and beet sugar if i'm
putting it right on my tongue. In an unflavored sugar cookie, i'd have to
work at it but might be able to figure out which is which. In much anything
else, I doubt i'd be able to tell.
