title: [Food favoritism and taste perception for P. T. C. in Hungarian pupils (author's transl)].
abstract: It is generally supposed that human food choice is merely under the control and influence of the environment. The authors examined connections between a genetically determined character, taste sensitivity to P.T.C. and food favoritism in different Hungarian populations, using a Food Like/Dislike Chart constructed for their purpose. Furthermore, they tested monozygous and like-sexed dizygous twin pairs for both characters. They concluded that genetic factors play a significant role on human food favoritism.
