The definitive guide to the basic principles and latest advances in Nutritional Genomics Though still in its infancy, nutritional genomics, or "nutrigenomics," has revealed much about the complex interactions between diet and genes. But it is in its potential applications that nutrigenomics promises to revolutionize the ways we manage human health and combat disease in the years ahead. Great progress already has been made in modeling "personalized" nutrition for optimal health and longevity as well as in genotype–based dietary interventions for the prevention, mitigation, or possible cure of a variety of chronic diseases and some types of cancer. Topics covered include: Nutrients and gene expression The role of metabolomics in individualized health Molecular mechanisms of longevity regulation and calorie restriction Green tea polyphenols and soy peptides in cancer prevention Maternal nutrition and fetal gene expression...
