“…A strict cut‐off value for R 2 < 0.001 and a window of 10 000 kb were used for clumping to remove the SNPs in linkage disequilibrium (LD). To reduce interference from confounding factors so as to meet the second assumption, each IV was evaluated for possible association with confounding factors, including economic, 11,12 overweight or obesity, 13,14 education, 15,16 and stress, 17,18 in Phenoscanner (http://www.phenoscanner.medschl.cam.ac.uk/), and IVs associated with these potential confounders were excluded. After data harmonization, the palindromic SNPs were also excluded to avoid the inability to determine the direction of the positive and negative chains for the same alleles on both strands.…”

ObjectivesIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder in gut–brain interaction. Diet plays an important role in the pathophysiology of IBS. Therefore, we aimed to explore the potential causal effects of food‐liking on IBS to provide better diet advice for patients.MethodsSingle‐nucleotide polymorphisms associated with food‐liking were selected as instrumental variables, which were obtained from the latest genome‐wide association study (GWAS) conducted on 161 625 participants. The summary data of genetic associations with IBS were obtained from a recent GWAS with 433 201 European controls and 53 400 cases. We used inverse variance weighting as the main analysis. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to detect horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneity.ResultsSignificant evidence revealed the protective effects of a vegetarian diet‐liking on IBS, including asparagus, avocadoes, globe artichoke, aubergine, and black olives, while onion‐liking showed potential deleterious effects. For meat and fish, preference for sardines and fried fish was marginally associated with IBS risk, but salami and salmon were potential protective factors. In terms of desserts and dairy products, preferences for cake icing, ketchup, and cheesecake were suggestively associated with higher IBS risk, while goat cheese‐liking was marginally correlated with lower IBS risk. Additionally and suggestively, significant causal effects of IBS on increased preferences for globe artichoke and salami were also found in a reverse Mendelian randomization (MR) study.ConclusionOur study revealed potential causal associations between food preference and IBS from a genetic perspective, which provides a dietary reference for such patients.

“…With large cohort of population survey, several recent studies have shown an association between high chronic stress levels and unhealthy dietary patterns, such as increased consumption of foods with high fat or sugar contents, and decreased preference and consumption of fruits or vegetables ( 12 – 14 ). One possible mechanism is that stress increases the reward processing of food via cortisol activation ( 15 ) and reduced dietary restraint ( 16 ).…”

IntroductionStress is related to altered olfactory perception and eating behaviors. The current study investigated the association between chronic stress, food reward and perception of food and non-food odors among college students.MethodsSixty-one participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Brief Daily Stressors Screening Tool (BDSST). The detective threshold and suprathreshold perception (pleasantness, intensity, and familiarity) of two food (chocolate, strawberry) odors and a non-food (rose) odor were measured. Food reward and macronutrient preference were measured using the computerized Leeds Food Preference Questionnaire and the Macronutrient and Taste Preference Ranking task, respectively. Reward-related eating, emotional eating and eating-related inhibitory control were measured by the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) and the Reward-Based Eating Drive Scale (RED) scales.ResultsNeither the perceived stress or the severity of daily life stressor exposure was related to odor sensitivity, however, the PSS score was significantly correlated with pleasantness for strawberry odor (r = 0.329, p = 0.013). Chronic stress (PSS and BDSST scores) was significantly correlated with the DEBQ emotional eating and reward-related eating measured by RED (all ps < 0.01). Moreover, the BDSST score was negatively correlated with subjective liking for low-calorie sweet foods (r = −0.46, p < 0.001).DiscussionTogether, our preliminary results suggest disassociated effect of chronic stress on odor perception and eating behaviors.
