Isotonix published an article “The importance of customized nutrition gets the spotlight” They say that public awareness is up and scientists are spending more time in these relatively new fields because of the potential gain they offer to everyone. “A statistical genetic risk to a disease or condition does not mean that you will express (Turn On) the disease or condition. It is an important starting point, but then the freedom and responsibility is to choose your way; to choose the right diet and optimized lifestyle for your genetic pre-disposition.” – Professor Michael Müller, Scientific Director, Netherlands Nutrigenomics Centre at Wageningen University. Our genes may be loaded with blanks or real bullets but nothing happens until we pull the trigger (epigenetics). Once the trigger is pulled, the gene(s) are expressed and the result may be good or bad for the organism.
