Fad diets and Dietary Guidelines - a thing of the past in ten years?

25/01/05 Tailor-made diets based on genetic profiling could replace the trial and error of dietary guidelines one day in the not-too distant future.
The Director of Nutritional Genomics (Nutrigenomics), Jose Ordovas of Boston’s Tufts University studies the interaction of nutrients and genes, how genes protect or enhance the value of certain foods. Dr. Ordovas says
Some people can eat a high carbohydrate, high fat diet rich in all the things that are “bad” for them and live to a ripe old age; others eat a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, following reccommended dietary guidelines religiously and die of a heart attack in mid-life. Using the latest information from the Human Genome project, Geonomic researchers are finding out why that happens and developing strategies to help us live longer.
According to Dr. Ordova day you may one day be able to make an appointment to have a genetic profile taken and at a follow-up medical interview, be given a personalized dietary and lifestyle guideline that will optimize the interaction between your genes and your diet so you can live a longer, healthier and happier life.
