Many meat-eating mammals lack sweet tooth - latimes.com
latimes.com — “Many meat-eating mammals lack a sweet tooth, a genetic analysis of a dozen different species has shown. Carnivorous mammals whose diets don't feature much in the way of sugar may lose the ability to taste it at all.” View full resource at latimes.com

Olives for Dinner: Sweet Potato and Lemongrass Gyozas
olivesfordinner.blogspot.com — “I am a 30-something amateur vegan cook married to a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy. Although our food preferences and tastes are seemingly in opposition, we've found that a well-prepared vegan meal is something we can both agree on. Here are some vegan dishes from my kitchen that passed the test in taste, presentation and innovation.” View full resource at olivesfordinner.blogspot.com

Extensive taste loss found in mammals: Feeding preferences shaped by taste receptors
sciencedaily.com — “Scientists report frequent loss of sweet taste in mammalian species that are exclusive meat eaters. Further, two sea-dwelling mammals that swallow their food whole have extensive taste loss. Many sweet-blind species eat only meat, demonstrating that a liking for sweets is frequently lost during the evolution of diet specialization.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Perception and preference may have genetic link to obesity
sciencedaily.com — “New discoveries suggest that fats are perceived on the tongue as a "taste" sensation by binding to specialized receptors on taste buds. More specifically, fats are broken down in the mouth to fatty acids, and it's the fatty acids that bind to these receptors.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Staph bacteria: Blood-sucking superbug prefers taste of humans
sciencedaily.com — “Scientists have discovered that "staph" bacteria prefer to bind to human hemoglobin -- the oxygen-carrying protein that contains iron -- over hemoglobin from other animals. The findings help explain why staph preferentially infects people and suggest that genetic variations in hemoglobin may make some individuals more susceptible to staph infections.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

The Taste Gene -- Psychobiologists Find Genetic Component in Children's Food Preference - Digg
digg.com — “In the first study to link taste genes to behavior in children, researchers looked at how natural variations in a recently discovered taste gene affected sensitivity to bitter tastes and food preferences in a group of children and adults. Collecting genetic samples from 143 children and their mothers, the researchers showed moms and kids who had at least one bitter-sensitive region in the gene were generally able to detect even a hint of bitter flavor in a test drink. The same group of children,” View full resource at digg.com

Psst! Coffee drinkers: Fruit flies have something to tell you about caffeine
eurekalert.org — “In their hunt for genes and proteins that explain how animals discern bitter from sweet, a team of Johns Hopkins researchers began by testing whether mutant fruit flies prefer eating sugar over sugar laced with caffeine. Using a simple behavioral test, the researchers discovered that a single protein missing from the fly-equivalent of our taste buds caused them to ignore caffeine's taste and consume the caffeine as if it were not there.” View full resource at eurekalert.org
