Background: Diminished taste acuity (hypogeusia) has been linked to zinc deficiency in humans and animals. This phenomenon has been exploited in the Zinc Taste Test (ZTT), a taste acuity test commonly employed by Australian naturopaths. However, its validity has not yet been firmly established. Methods: A systematic search of several key databases was conducted. Only studies in which there were full reports of clinical trials comparing the ZTT to at least one other zinc test within the same sample population were included. Results: Three (3) studies matched the criteria for inclusion. Study I compared the ZTT with sweat zinc in patients with food intolerance, reporting moderate correlation. Study II recruited pregnant women using the ZTT an...
