The Sixth Taste

Maybe the Sixth Taste has been Discovered. And it's not Woo-Woo like the Sixth Sense. The Sixth Taste might be Calcium. Mmmm, Chalk. Lovin it. Anyway, according to the Yahoo link to the LiveScience article (link at bottom) "Sixth 'Taste' Discovered - Calcium" by Charles Q. Choi a researcher has discovered that Mice can distinguish the taste of Calcium. This could be a pretty cool connection to Pluto's movement into Capricorn which rules the bones.

I would give the sense of Taste to Pluto any old day. Don't know what Rex Bills says; he's out in the car.

I already wrote about the Fifth Taste called Umami or Savoury which was identified by a Japanese Libra back in 1908. Pluto was at around 24 Gemini at that point so maybe new taste identities come along when Pluto hits the end of Gemini/Sagittarius.

mmmm, gifts from the Galactic Center.

But, really, can't we do better than identify what Chalk tastes like?

Interesting article. Apparently the Calcium taste in dairy foods binds to other things and we can't taste it. Because we don't want to. Ah man, remember Kaopectate? Bleck. Is that stuff still around? I've talked about my childhood bout with The Salmonella ad nauseum here but, really, all I remember is the moment that my Mother didn't force me to take any more of that Kaopectate for the runs. I was throwing up already anyway.
