Genes determine the types and number of smell and taste receptors one has. http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/ObesityWeek/48322?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2014-10-31&utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DailyHeadlines&utm_source=ST&eun=g721819d0r&userid=721819&email=amydugan2%40gmail.com&mu_id=5883165&utm_term=Daily
