i took the test myself as well, but the diet recommendations contradicted those of dnanudge. so, a little confused, i took a trip to a nutrition genetics lab. what do you keep in the fridge? it s full of saliva. it is full of saliva. dr yiannis mavrommatis specialises in nutrition genomics here, and instead of offering me a coffee, decided to test my genes as to whether i should have one or not. you can deposit your sample and just return it back to me. it takes longer than you would think to fill a container with saliva. i ve only got to get it up to there. done. the problem is not this part, we can do this part quite well. the challenge is to find an area that is meaningful and we have a lot of science behind it. so there is no consensus as to which dna areas we need to analyse, so company a may have their own genes that they believe are the most important ones and company b may have a different
set of genes. we need to be able to communicate possibilities and probabilities to the public, and that s not always an easy thing to do. even when scientists do agree on genes and their impact, more data is needed for a full picture. genetics can actually be quite meaningful if you combine it with other parameters of the person their individual dietary inta ke, lifestyle, physical activities, sleep patterns and whatnot. if you just use genetics, it s not going to work. but whilst our dna can t offer every answer, at least dr yiannis later confirmed that i m free to drink coffee whilst i mull over my need for any diet change or not. i tell you, she should never have given it up anyway. back at decode genetics in iceland, founder kari stefansson has been looking at a similar and possibly controversial topic how our genes shape our bodies, our minds and our personalities.
