  • Is it possible to eat right for our genes?
  • Could your inherited genes influence whether certain foods are good or bad for you?

Description

Have you ever wondered why some of us thrive on protein-rich diets, while others do better with dairy or carbohydrates? Might your distant ancestral past hold the key? Gluten, lactose, saturated fat, fructose, folate, alcohol, caffeine… might your genes shape your ability (or lack of) to process these without ill effects? What kind of genetic testing can you do – and how can this help? We dive into evolutionary genetics to find the answers. Learn about whether you should tailor your diet around your inherited genes, to how these may influence your ability to eat certain foods without ill effects!
