Genetic taste blindness to the bitterness of 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) may be a marker for increased energy intake and body weight. This hypothesis has not been tested in pre-adolescent children. This study determined if non-taster children would report higher energy intakes and maintain higher body weights than taster children. Matemal variables which are known to influence food intake and body weight during childhood were also considered including maternal weight, maternal restraint and disinhibition and child feeding practices. Sixty-five children with a mean age of 9.0 +/- 0.2 years participated. They completed a 3 -day diet recall for the estimation of daily energy and macronutrient intakes. BMI (mothers) and BMI%-for-age (children) were calculated from measured heights and weights. Non-taster children reported higher daily energy intakes than super-taster children (p
