From one person to the next, optimal health is governed by a huge
array of minor genetic differences. When modulated by a variety of
food bioiactives, these differences result in changes in gene
expression and subsequent phenotypic expression. Combining
biomedical and social science with contributions from leaders in
both fields, Personalized Nutrition: Principles and Applications
illustrates molecular, physiological, epidemiological, and public
health aspects with examples from major diseases and discusses the
behavioral, ethical, and consumer perspectives that will influence
a successful introduction of personalized nutrition. Divided into
three sections, the book answers pertinent questions crucial to the
mainstream acceptance of personalized nutrition: to what extent is
this personal diet-and-health relationship practically valid? how
can nutrition science demonstrate this? And what is the proposition
of stakeholders in society, including the consumer? The book begins
with an overview of the state-of-the-science in nutrigenomic
technologies including transcriptomics, proteomics, and
metabolomics. It covers the use of genomics technology for a better
understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in major
diet-related chronic disorders such as chronic inflammation,
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Section two
compares the practices and opinions of scientists, food companies,
consumers, competitive athletes, and health care providers on the
subject of personalized nutrition. It reviews marketing potential,
consumer attitudes, and the ethical issues surrounding personalized
advice. The final section focuses on humanitarian concerns related
to developingcountries and calls for international efforts to
develop best practices, collaboration, and dataset sharing. The
authors also consider ongoing innovations in food technology,
nutrigenomics, and food delivery systems.
