Content
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. Martin Kohlmeier, University of North Carolina, Schools of Medicine and Public Health. Department of Nutrition, Chapel Hill, NC, USA Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Has the time come for genotype-based nutrition decisions? Chapter 2: How genetic transmission works Chapter 3: Where nutrigenetic differences come from Chapter 4: How nutrients are affected by genetics Chapter 5: How does nutrigenetics influence long-term health? Chapter 6: How can we know what the latest findings mean? Chapter 7: Practical use of nutrigenetics Chapter 8: Safe-keeping of genetic information Genome Glossary
