Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 29, 1997, Winnipeg, Manitoba Consumer watch a fifth taste Miami apr there May be a fifth taste to add alongside Sweet sour Salty and bitter. Two University of Miami researchers say certain taste buds in the Mouths of animals react Only to Mon sodium glutamate or mag which is found naturally in almost every food. The food Industry has known for years that adding mag to snacks and meals makes you want to eat More a More chips anyone until now scientists did no to know Why. The researchers Nirupa Chaudhari and Stephen Roper said Friday that if you always want a second helping of tomatoes Grapefruit potatoes apples oranges and mushrooms it is probably because they have plenty of mag. Many pet foods Are loaded with it. Mag a Salt form of the amino acid glutamate was blamed at least As far As the 1960s for various health problems and even death. The government in 1995 declared it Safe for almost everyone to eat. Chaudhari and Roper will present their findings to an International symposium on taste next month. They said mag triggers certain taste buds which Send electrical Sig nals to the brain that make the body want More. Understanding How this happens almost certainly will Lead to nutritionists being Able to stimulate taste buds in people who have no will to eat the researchers said. That could help Mouth cancer patients who have lost their sense of taste or the elderly who waste away because of loss of appetite. The average person has 2,000 to 5,000 taste buds while some have As Many As 10,000 and have a super sense of taste. The researchers said their tests have been limited to rats but that taste buds in virtually All animals Are like those of humans. The findings Point to a fifth taste said John Teeter a physiologist at the Monell chemical senses Centre in Philadelphia.
