Also kind of interesting to know there is a quantifiable methodology for rating chewing capabilities, which could potentially be used in other studies.
Anyhow I suspect when we are old and don't understand what is happening to our weakening bodies some of us may have a greater appreciation for this particular study.
I’m not going to look it up and assume that the chewing scale is rated based on how hard the patient bites the researcher.
This is the only logical conclusion.
