Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Close Proximity to the <i>Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21)</i> Gene Found to Be Associated with Sugar Intake in a Swedish Population

Hereditary mechanisms are partially responsible for individual differences in sensitivity to and the preference for sweet taste. The primary aim of this study was to examine the associations between 10 genetic variants and the intake of total sugar, added sugar, and sugars with sweet taste (i.e., mo...
