nutrigenetics
Nutrigenetics is a branch of nutritional genomics which aims to identify genetic susceptibility to diseases and genetic variation in the effects of nutrient intake on the genome. ''Nutrigenetics'' is not to be confused with ''nutrigenomics'', which focuses on the role specific foods have in activating genes that affect susceptibility to certain illnesses such as Alzheimer’s Disease and cancer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nutrigenomics New Zealand )〕 Nutrigenetics is still in its relative infancy compared to other branches of medical science. It aims to offer people personalized disease prevention advice based on genetic makeup.
== Scientific basis ==
Due to evolutionary processes, humans differ in their DNA, more precisely in so-called SNPs (short for “single nucleotide polymorphism”). Among others, SNPs influence the way individuals absorb and process food components.〔Daniel, H., Klein, U.: ''Nutrigenetik: Genetische Varianz und Effekte der Ernährung.'' In: D. Haller (Hrsg.), Biofunktionalität der Lebensmittelinhaltsstoffe. 2013.〕
Physiological activity in the human organism that concerns the consumption or transportation of nutrients is also connected with the reciprocation of various genetic variants. This assumption forms the basis for nutrigenetic sciences.〔Fenech, M. et al.: ''Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics: Viewpoints on the Current Status and Applications in Nutrition Research and Practice.'' In: Journal of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics, 4 (2): 69-89. 07/2011.〕
Moreover, different nutrigenetic processes in the human body can imply an advantage in terms of natural selection. Thus, for example, evolution urged people to digest lactose from cow milk.〔
