Distilled Water and Tap Water as Factors in Taste Preference of the Rat
Schnorr and Brookshire demonstrated that naive rats reared from weaning on distilled water prefer distilled water to tap water; Ss reared on tap water also prefer distilled water, which result approaches statistical significance. This preference for distilled water is directly opposed to findings of Young and Falk who demonstrated a preference for tap water. The present paper is an analysis and interpretation of these experiments along with data from two further studies of taste preference.
