I came across the following sentence:

> どうしても納豆だけは食べられない。

The sentence as a whole makes sense, but what meaning or function does も have
here?

grammar particles particle-も
Meaning of も in the following sentence
`〜ても` means "Even if X". In this case, "No matter what I do, Natto I cannot
eat."

> 雨が降っても強行だ  
>  走っても間に合わない  
>  見つかったとしても壊れているに違いない  
>  食べてもよい

Let's look at the definition of
[`どうしても`](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/jn2/155913/m0u/%E3%81%A9%E3%81%86%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82/):

> どう努力【どりょく】してみても。

That is to say `regardless of how hard (I) try`. `も` here means `regardless`.
It's part of a general pattern of `~(て/で)も`, which has a general meaning of
`even if`.
