- Sweet taste preferences are partly inherited. Chromosome 16p11.2 may harbor genetic variations that affect the consumption of sweet foods.
- A Scottish study is the first to suggest that specific genetic interaction influences eating behavior in children. The two genes studied exhibited much different energy use depending on their expression. If certain polymorphisms were discovered, energy intake from food was much lower, making easier to gain weight.
