Urine Flavor Wheel

Urine Flavor Wheel

Urine flavor wheels were once a standard tool
Doctors could either sniff or taste the urine (if both, it’s called a dual)
Then compare what they discovered there on the urine wheel
Even I can’t make this up – the urine wheel was real
Then by the 19th century the practice lost its favor
Chemicals then took the place of the small town doctor’s flavor
Yet some believed the taste test yield far more information
Than any chem analysis performed then in the nation
So at your next appointment ask your doc about it
See if he’ll perform the test.  I’ll bet he says “I doubt it”
