About

The investigators seek to determine how genetics and the environment influence the ability to taste and smell fat. The investigators believe that people who consume higher fat diets and people who have higher body fat levels are less able to taste and smell fat. The investigators expect to see that people who are less able to taste and smell fat will share certain genetic differences.
