In recent years, scientists have discovered that each of us have unique "genetically determined" body chemistries. Even small variations in your genes can have a profound influence on how well your body responds to food, physical activity, environmental pressures and how you may be predisposed to a wide variety of other important health and physiologic conditions. Based on over a decade of proprietary and patented scientific processes, the health and beauty industry is rapidly accelerating into the 21st century. You can have personalized solutions specifically designed to support YOUR body with the first comprehensive system of personalized nutritional supplements based on genetic testing that measures single nucleotide polymorphisms in your DNA.

Sorry, but i don't have so much idea on this subject. i just suggest you take help of any experienced person or search any site which belong this question.
If you have another question so, tell me. I will try to solve your problem as much as possible.
Thanks for cooperation
Good Luck

The FDA not only now recognizes the importance of
PERSONALIZED NUTRITION and MEDICINE, it has
created the Division of Personalized Nutrition and
Medicine.
Quoting from Dr. Jim Kaput's newsletter,
"In October 2006, the FDA/National Center for Toxicological Research in
Jefferson, Arkansas, created the Division of Personalized Nutrition and
Medicine. This was in my view, a quite remarkable event ˆ the U.S.
government not only acknowledging the importance of personalization but
including nutrition with medicine. In the summer of this year, I was offered and
accepted the position of Director of that new division.
The NCTR and FDA announcement written by the NCTR Director (Bill Slikker)
is included below. In addition to the information about the new position at
NCTR, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (a cabinet level position)
published a report in September of this year entitled Personalized Health Care:
Opportunities, Pathways, Resources (for free download, see
http://www.hhs.gov/myhealthcare/news/phc-report.pdf). That report describes
the importance and proposed paths to develop personalized health care, and
includes discussions about genes and environment (including diet). In addition,
the report describes the granting opportunities and resources for research in
this area. Although the NIH and other agencies have been slowly increasing
funding for nutrient (and environment) ˆ gene interactions, the creation of a
research division for personalized nutrition and medicine and the public
discussion of personalizing health care demonstrate the recognition of the
importance of this type of research."
Dr. Jim Kaput has been a leader in Nutrigenomics at UC Davis and headed the
recent conference on Nutrigenomics. Dr. Kaput is very supportive of the
interaction of nutrients and genes to say the least.

Hi HighDefHealth,
Most of the time when something sounds to good to be true it is, and I think this will also prove to be a fake as the following article claims.


DNA-based diets blasted by government probe
Genetic tests that claim to offer nutrition advice may scam consumers
ET July 27, 2006

WASHINGTON - Direct-to-consumer DNA tests are promising nutrition advice customized to people's genes, but congressional investigators said Thursday the tests are of no medical value and can mislead people.

"I want to send a message to consumers across the country: Buyer beware," said Gregory Kurtz, who led a probe by the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress.

At issue is a field called nutritional genomics, which researches how complex interactions between genes and diet may affect people's risk of future illnesses. Many genetic authorities say the field has promise but that much more research is needed before offering DNA-tailored advice.

Yet on the Internet and in some stores, people can buy kits, costing from $99 to $1,000, that let them send in a cheek swab for DNA analysis, fill out a lifestyle questionnaire and receive nutrition advice.

Investigators bought kits from companies selling through four Web sites, and created 14 pretend customers. The questionnaires described consumers of different ages and lifestyles, but were paired with DNA samples from Kurtz's infant daughter and a male agent at the GAO.

The advice varied greatly, but mostly contained generalities such as do not smoke and that the "customers" with bad diets may risk heart disease, the GAO reported.

One company advised three of the fictitious customers to buy a "personalized" dietary supplement blend, costing more than $1,880 a year, that the company claimed could repair damaged DNA, Kurtz said.

Sales pitch for supplements
Genetics experts told the GAO there is no pill that can repair DNA damage and that some of the blend's mega-dose vitamins might even cause harm. Plus, the advice was not personalized because it was the same blend even though two "customers" had different DNA and all three had very different health risks, Kurtz said.

A second company recommended a supplement blend for $1,200 a year that contained the same multivitamins that can be bought in any drugstore for about $35. "It's a rip-off," Kurtz said.

Investigators also sent one lab in the test a urine sample that actually was the synthetic urine used to cheat on drug tests. The lab's analysis showed no sign if it could tell the urine was fake

I understand the skepticism as this science is new but I've researched this and shared it with a Professer at UCF's medical college and he is now using this program.

John,
You and I both know that nutrition, weight loss and good health is less of a science than the dieting industry leads us to believe. You and I can only help educate people that it should be looked at more like a journey toward and healthy lifestyle change. cool.gif smile.gif

I totally agree Tony. Powerful corelations ( British spelling-Americans use an extra r biggrin.gif ) often tell the story quicker and usually subsequent research proves it's right anyway eg, cured, smoked and preserved meats with cholorectal cancer.
