“Concerning The Taste Of Heavy Water”, H. C. Urey, G. Failla1935-03-15 (science)⁠:

In discussing the recent press reports of the drinking of heavy water by Professor Hansen, of Oslo, the present writers could not account for the “dry burning sensation”

…Each of us was then given two identical watch glasses, one containing one cubic centimeter of ordinary distilled water, and the other the same amount of pure heavy water

…Neither of us could detect the slightest difference between the taste of ordinary distilled water and the taste of pure heavy water.
