Onions and their link to lower diabetes and blood pressure
An international study has revealed that a preference for the smell and taste of onions may be linked to a decreased likelihood of developing high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. The study showed that a genetic variant associated with a liking for onions, related to the olfactory receptor gene OR2T6, might serve as a consistent marker of this preference across different age groups. This finding supports the idea of a genetic connection between food preferences and health. The research uses a genetic-based approach to interpret the relationship between onion preference and health, aiming to better understand how diet impacts disease.
