'Onion-Loving' Gene Linked to Better Health? | WION News
Imagine if a doctor could look at your DNA and predict not just your disease risk, but also which foods you're drawn to – and whether those cravings are quietly protecting you. A new study from an international team of researchers found that a specific genetic variant linked to a love of onions is associated with lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.
The research, led by scientists at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, the National Institutes of Health, the University of Queensland, the University of Bristol, and the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, is published today in BMC Medicine.
