Genetic Diet - Matching food with genes
MIT Technology Review: Aug. 2005 pp54-58
- Paradigm shift in public understanding of food:
Means of survival => taste and wholesome food => fear for food borne microbes.
- The same concept of using genetic knowledge to produce drugs (Pharmacogenomics), can be used on food and nutrients (Nutritional genomics)
- However, to produce promising results, nutritional geneticists will need far cheaper and faster genertic-screening tools.
- In the mean time, balance diet and food supplement are key to healthly life.
- Pascal' Wager: if erroneously disbelieving God consigns you to hell, but erroneously believing in God has no consequences, it is only rational to believe in God.
