Wellbeing If you're addicted to carbs, science says it isn't your fault Do you suffer from awful PMT? Science says this could be why The makers of the yeast-based spread teamed up with the genetic testing centre DNAFit to conduct a clinical trial to see if there is a biological link to our preferences.
Participants in the Marmite Gene Project were asked to taste a 2g serving of Marmite on their tongue for 10 seconds, filling out a questionnaire on their reaction. The study identified 15 single-nucleotide polymorphisms, or genetic markers, which were linked to Marmite taste preference.
Marmite is now selling genetic testing kits , so you can find out for yourself whether you were born a lover or a hater. There is even a brussels sprout gene: TAS2R This gene makes a protein that interlocks with a chemical called phenylthiocarbamide, which results in the taste sensation of bitterness. Brassicas such as brussels sprouts and cabbages contain a similar chemical, so if you posses the TAS2R38 gene, you are likely to detest them.
It is a similar story with coriander. While there is a genetic link to taste preference, much of it is learned, says experimental psychologist and author of the book Gastrophysics , Professor Charles Spence.
