Did some avoid eating cabbage?

Australian scientists have discovered that plants of the cabbage family secrete enzymes that interact with bacteria in human saliva, resulting in an unpleasant sulfur smell.

The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry notes that this explains why some people, especially children, avoid cabbage.

It is reported that previous studies have shown that the level of this enzyme in the saliva of adults is different.

Now researchers have discovered that the levels of these volatiles are similar in parents and children.

This explains the genetic dislike of cabbage based on the oral cavity microbiome.

Researchers point out that the reluctance to eat cabbage appears in childhood.

But with age, either continues or the person gets used to the special taste of vegetables of the cabbage genus

 And he stops noticing it.

This explains the fact that children have a strong aversion to different types of cabbage.
