Nutritional Genomics

Imagine this scenario : A physician scrapes a sample of cells from inside your cheek
and submit it to a genomic lab.

The lab returns a report based on your genetic profile that reveals which diseases you are
most likely to develop and makes recommendations for specific diet and lifestyle changes
that can help you maintain good health .

You may also be given a prescription for a dietary supplement that will best meet your
personal nutrient requirements.

Such a scenario may one day become reality as scientist uncover the genetic relationship
between diet and disease.

Until then however we need to know that current genetic test kits
commonly available on the Internet are unproven.
