RE: Genetics and your Sense of Taste

There's also a polymorphism making you hyper-sensitive to a compound found in pork. My boss is a carrier, and a barbecueing with her is no fun at all ;-)

Sort:  

I read that too during my research but didn't find the correlating gene so I left it out :P

I wonder if the cultures who are non-pork eaters are afflicted with this hyper sensitivity more so than the cultures who eat pork?
