Obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases may be associated with the food choices people make, and those choices may be linked to perceptions of taste and smell, which new research shows vary dramatically among individuals. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/07/24/BAU211TSBA.DTL">"People who cannot taste bitter compounds have a greater preference for high-fat, sweet foods, and that correlates with fat in the gut - the apple belly,"</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/07/24/BAU211TSBA.DTL"><P>People may differ in both how intensely they perceive a flavor or odor, and whether those sensations are perceived as pleasant or awful. Researchers believe these differences are the result of both cultural traditions and genetic traits. The differences are sometimes pronounced between men and women, the young and old, and among different racial and ethnic groups.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/71D60D56-9A3E-4346-BB05-ABDE1875756A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
