Still, in its infancy, nutrigenomics has the significant advantage of allowing researchers to look at people, diet, life stage, and lifestyle without preconceived notions.

We choose a complicated mix of meals throughout our lives, which can have a favourable or negative impact on our health.

The issue, for both scientists and consumers, is that the benefits do not appear to be uniform for all.
