Class Correlation
Strong PTC Taste Everyone that can distinctly taste the
PTC either likes or thinks broccoli is ok 10 people either like or think cabbage is
ok whereas 4 people dislike it Only 6 people like or think Brussels
sprouts are okay and 8 people dislike them
Slight PTC Taste 5 people that can slightly taste the PTC
like or think broccoli is ok and 4 people dislike it
Only 3 people like or think cabbage and Brussels sprouts are ok and 6 people that can only slightly taste the PTC dislike them
No PTC Taste Only 3 people that cannot taste the PTC like
broccoli, 4 people think it is OK, and 2 people dislike it
No one that cannot taste the PTC likes cabbage or Brussels sprouts
4 people think cabbage is OK 3 people think Brussels sprouts are OK 5 people dislike cabbage 6 people dislike Brussels sprouts
Real World Conclusions
The American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental TherapeuticsStudies confirmed earlier reports
that genetically mediated sensitivity to the bitter taste of PTC was associated with lowered acceptability of Brussels sprouts, cabbage, spinach, and broccoli.

Real World Experiment 65 preschoolers 3.5-4.5 years old at the
start of the study 33 girls 32 boys**Children with allergies, recent illnesses, or taking medication that alter food taste were excluded.
Initial findings: 63% were “tasters” 37% were “non-tasters” Vegetable choices:
Raw broccoli*Cucumber*Pitted ripe black olives *Mini carrotsRed bell peppers
*bitter tasting vegetablesPrecision Nutrition Inc. "Research Review: Bitter Blind? Why You Don't Like Broccoli...

Real World Experiment cont.
What did they find? “Non-tasters” eat more vegetables during snack-time
than “tasters” 92% of “non-tasters” ate some vegetables, compared
to only 68% of “tasters” 32% of “tasters” ate no vegetables at all “Non-tasters” ate more bitter vegetables compared to
“tasters”, but there was no difference in broccoli consumption
