Spare yourself: This is a genetic trait and won't be affected by anything you eat or drink.

Thank

Genetic/not diet: Variations on this trait are in your genes, which you could pass to an offspring or not. That is up to which genes you pass, not what you eat . You have no control over the outcome.
