Nutrigenetics: Applying the Science of Personal Nutrition provides
a fully referenced, readable guide to understanding the rationale
and importance of nutrigenetic applications and explains why single
nutrition recommendations will not fit everybody or even a majority
of modern humans. This books explains how genetic variation shapes
individual nutrition requirements and sensitivities, presents
questions to ask about reported gene-nutrient interactions, and
what needs to be done before putting nutrigenetic tests to
practical use. This book blends key concepts from the fields of
genetics, biochemistry, epidemiology, public health, and clinical
medicine to give a rich perspective on the genetically diverse
nutritional needs and sensitivities of individuals in health and
disease. A steadily increasing number of people order genetic tests
to find out what they should eat for better health, well being and
performance, and an even greater number asks their healthcare
providers about such tests. Most of the currently offered tests are
not grounded in current knowledge, often absurdly so, but few
professionals can explain why they are misguided. On the other
hand, there are more evidence-supported genetic variants that can
guide nutrition decisions, but again most healthcare providers know
little about them, much less use them in their daily practice.
There is a great need for a solidly evidence-based yet accessible
book that explains the science of nutrigenetics and provides the
tools to evaluate new nutrigenetic tests.
