Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the link between bitter taste sensitivity, consumption of cruciferous vegetables, and the risk of obesity and diabetes among 2,129 American adults aged 40-80 years from the NHANES survey (2013-2014).
- Bitter tasters consumed fewer cruciferous vegetables (29.5% versus 35.7%) and, on average, ate 15.5 grams less daily compared to non-tasters.
- The research found higher odds of obesity and diabetes among bitter tasters, indicating that taste sensitivity may influence dietary choices and health outcomes.
