(PhysOrg.com) -- Some individuals may find a recent push by the federal government to reduce salt in processed foods hard to swallow. That's not because those individuals simply enjoy the salty taste of certain foods. A new study by University of Connecticut professor Valerie Duffy and graduate students in her Duffy Lab shows that some individuals need a higher degree of salt in their foods in order to block the unpleasant tastes they get from some of the things they eat.
