Why Is Michael Tordoff Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Dr. Michael G. Tordoff is a psychobiologist working at the Monell Chemical Senses Center. His research deals with the genetics and physiology of taste and nutrition. His early work addressed how and what animals learn about the value of their food, how artificial sweeteners influence appetite and body weight, how salt intake is regulated, and how dietary calcium influences salt intake. Recently, he has been investigating calcium taste and appetite. He is the primary proponent of the notion that calcium is a basic taste, equivalent to sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.
