Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To determine whether variation in the TAS1R2 gene affects sucrose taste perception and sugar intake. METHODS: Participants were men (n = 238) and women (n = 458) aged 20-29 years. A subset (n = 95) with body mass index (BMI) data available completed a sensory analysis study. A fo...
