What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with reduced sensitivity to certain bitter compounds found in foods like broccoli, brussels sprouts, and coffee — a "non-taster" profile.
C/G Published research associates this genotype with intermediate bitter-taste sensitivity.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with heightened sensitivity to certain bitter compounds — a "supertaster" profile for these specific foods.

Source: Quinine taste intensity and a bitter receptor cluster on chromosome 12 (Hum Mol Genet 2010; PMID 20675712), 1,457 individuals of European ancestry; p = 2 x 10^-104. Read with rs1726866 (262) and rs10246939 (296) as one haplotype: Pro-Ala-Val tastes it, Ala-Val-Ile does not.
