One diet does not fit all.
William Barrington, postdoctoral scientist at @UCLA, explores the role genetics play in determining which diet will work for you.

Tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. on @WAMCRadio.

Science Shows Promise of Personalized Diets Over Universal Recommendations https://t.co/1DDwtHuAUJ

JAMA study claims DNA doesn't influence diet response, but only tested 3 of 23,000 genes... big headline, poor study design https://t.co/Pda8qlXS0z

How do I get my genetics tested? https://t.co/ai3w1AvysJ

What can genetic tests tell us about our nutritional needs? https://t.co/slK1wNoznY

@MaverickNY Fair enough, just wanted to share my take :)

[Bill Barrington, PhD @BillBarrington]

@abbynac @MaverickNY We can determine genetic vs environmental effects in mice. Not possible in humans. I'm on board with the Japanese diet, especially the sushi :)

[Bill Barrington, PhD @BillBarrington]

@MaverickNY Multiple studies show that genetics influence diet response, and some mechanisms in people are known (APOE, MTHFR, etc). Not so for astrology and aspirin. Unfair comparison.
