Is it true that genetic variation in the TAS2R38 gene changes how bitter vegetables like broccoli taste to people?

Yes. One review states that TAS2R38 mediates much of the perceived bitterness of broccoli and other brassica vegetables, and several other studies confirm that TAS2R38 variation alters bitter taste sensitivity and food preferences.
