The article discusses the emerging field of sensory nutrition, which explores the interactions between nutrition and sensory sciences. The article highlights the importance of communication and collaboration between researchers and clinicians in these areas to advance knowledge and challenge unsubstantiated claims. It provides examples of how improved communication could have resolved longstanding questions about taste mechanisms and the effects of food processing on health. The article also emphasizes the need for a multidimensional approach to studying sensory function and its impact on food intake. Overall, the article suggests that increased research at the sensory-nutrition interface holds promise for better understanding and practical applications in clinical and public health settings.
