Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Humans have an innate preference for sweet taste, but the degree of liking for sweet foods varies individually. OBJECTIVE: The proportion of inherited sweet taste preference was studied. A genome-wide linkage analysis was performed to locate the underlying genetic elements in the genome. DESIGN: A total of 146 subjects (32% men, 68% women) aged 18-78 y from 26 Finnish families evaluated the intensity...
