This study examined the relationship between taster status, food environment, and BMI. The researchers hypothesized that supertasters would have lower BMIs than non-tasters, and that food environment is another factor influencing BMI. Forty-one participants completed surveys on taster status, food environment, and had their BMI measured. A 2x3 ANOVA found no significant effects of taster status, environment, or their interaction on BMI. The researchers concluded that taster status and environment did not significantly impact BMI in this study. They suggested improvements such as using different measurement tools.
