註釋In the barrage of nutrition advice we hear, one crucial fact is too often lost: what's good for one person is not necessarily good for another. That's because of the critical role your genetic make-up plays in your susceptibility to disease. Genetic Nutrition combines the latest and most reliable nutrition advice with information from the exploding field of genetics to show you how you can design a nutritional program tailored to your individual genetic blueprint. The authors, world-renowned in the fields of nutrition and genetics, explain the link between health and heredity, show how to plot your family medical tree, and then offer specific, detailed information on what to eat and what to avoid if you have a family history of such common diseases or conditions as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, alcoholism, and food allergies. In no other area of health is there more misinformation and confusion than nutrition. The authors carefully distinguish myth from fact. They show that universal dietary recommendations issued by medical panels and intended for the entire population may not make the best sense in individual cases. A book of scrupulous medical authority and important practical application, Genetic Nutrition arms you with knowledge that will help you live a longer, healthier life.
