Abstract excerpt

Background/Objectives: Taste perception has emerged as a key determinant of eating behavior and metabolic regulation, but its relationship with body mass index (BMI) remains incompletely understood. We investigated the relationships among global, sweet, and lipid taste sensitivity; sweet- and lipid-taste-related polymorphisms; caloric intake; and BMI. Methods: Taste sensitivity was assessed using taste strips...
