One subject
that has been avoided in this blog has been diets and dieting, if only because
I have a distaste for it. But Science Daily has had an article recently which
was of interest.
DNA for dinner
is not what the article is about, directly, but there is a school of thought
that argues that man is what he or she eats, notably the DNA we have relates to
the diets of our ancestors.
In the
interests of diversity the farmers and the cowhands must be friends (see the
musical "Oklahoma") but when it comes to eating and drinking perhaps
we should be mindful of what we are in DNA terms.
If asked what
you have been doing, the answer is Nutrigenomics; that is Nutritional Genomics.
Time to send
out for the fish and chips.
I'm pretty sure that cheese made with water and partially hydrogenated soybean oil does not relate to anyone's DNA. We need to check what we are eating.
