New centre for research on smell and taste

At the beginning of July, the Gelderse Vallei hospital in Ede and Wageningen University jointly opened the first Smell and Taste Centre in the Netherlands.The centre will conduct research on the reasons behind smell and taste problems, as well as offering patients advice on lifestyle and diet. This is important because problems with smell and taste often affect eating habits and how much someone eats. The university will be allowed to use the anonymized research results in scientific studies. It is estimated that about 250 ? 300,000 people in the Netherlands suffer from smell and taste problems.Info: kees.degraaf@wur.nlSourceWageningen World 2015/3
