Thanks Jane, That’s strange – adding salt to sweetened tea makes it sweeter! Stu From: psci-com: on public engagement with science [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jane Gregory Sent: 16 February 2018 17:38 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] Salty science ideas Cola with a pinch of salt is much less sticky on the tongue, and tastes less sweet. I was recommended this by a gastroenterologist for use as a rehydration fluid when travelling. Both ingredients are available almost anywhere, and the concentrations are physiologically very efficient. That could be an 'up' story for you, and a reminder that sometimes salt and sugar are exactly what we need.

Does anyone have any experience or ideas? Reading the labels isn’t much fun, or memorable. My one idea thus far is to make cups of sweetened tea with differing amounts of sugar, plus one that has a pinch of salt added and ask them to taste which they think has the most sugar. From my experience a once sugar tea tastes equivalent to a three sugars. It would be nice to show that salt can be substituted with something else, although I keep coming back to the notion that salt is intrinsically tasty and appealing… Thanks Psci-com-ers!
