I know there's an actual soap gene. When the human genome is fully analyzed, they will have found thousands of genes that directly affect smell and taste of various foods. But cilantro is the only one that people defer fully to the gene.
By the way, all studies do conclude that the gene is only a small part of the overall psychology and (like with any food) repeated exposure can change your taste.
Sure but most people probably won't keep eating cilantro if it tastes like soap to them
