Sweet! Salty! Umami? What’s up with MSG? Why do you like your coffee black? Come down to flavortown and let’s talk tongues. Gustologist Dr. Gary Beauchamp is a chemosensory scientist and an expert in taste. We chat about tastebud flim-flam, celebrity grade hot wings, MSG research, excitotoxins, weaning off sugar, the worst soup on the market, what countries have salt restrictions, why you lost your taste with Covid, how much taste is smell, artificial sweeteners, acquiring a taste for foods, and how a sweet tooth may affect your booze consumption. Delicious facts, served up hot. Visit Dr. Gary Beauchamp’s <a href="https://monell.org/gkb/research-and-career-highlights/">Research and Career Highlights</a> and <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Gary-Beauchamp-2">ResearchGate profile</a>Donations were made to the <a href="https://monell.org/">Monell Center</a> and <a href="https://www.phillyyoungplaywrights.org/">Philadelphia Young Playwrights</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies/gustology">More episode sources and links</a><a href="https://alieward.com/smologies">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/diabetology">Diabetology (BLOOD SUGAR)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/felinology">Felinology (CATS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/biogerontology">Biogerontology (AGING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/environmentalmicrobiology">Environmental Microbiology (TESTING WASTEWATER FOR DISEASES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/glycobiology">Glycobiology (CARBS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/laryngology">Laryngology (VOICEBOXES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/radiology">Radiology (X-RAY VISION)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenouscuisinology">Indigenous Culinology (NATIVE COOKING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/foragingecology">Foraging Ecology (EATING WILD PLANTS) with @BlackForager, Alexis Nikole Nelson</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/blackamericanmagirology">Black American Magirology (FOOD, RACE & CULTURE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/gastroegyptology">Gastroegyptology (BREAD BAKING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/entomophagy-anthropology">Entomophagy Anthropology (EATING BUGS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/mixology">Mixology (COCKTAILS)</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, stickers, totes!Follow @Ologies on <a href="https://twitter.com/ologies">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies">Instagram</a>Follow @AlieWard on <a href="https://www.twitter.com/alieward">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward">Instagram</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jarrettsleeper.com/">Jarrett Sleeper</a> of <a href="https://www.mindjammedia.com/">MindJam Media</a> and Mark David Christenson Transcripts by Emily White of <a href="https://www.thewordary.com/">The Wordary</a>Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo">Kelly R.
