I´m interested in courses of diets based on nutrigenomics and the DNA test kits. How do I get it ?

[...] And, of course, Sciona–a leading DNA testing company in nutrigenomics–is mentioned at length. I’m working on getting Dr. Keith Grimaldi, Sciona’s Director of Science – Europe, to do a genetics interview for us. [...]

[...] Following up on last week’s Senate Special Committee hearings on at-home DNA tests, Time Magazine has a short article that puts nutrigenetic companies like Sciona on the defensive. Here are a few key points to remember when considering whether nutrigenomic/nutrigenetic DNA testing is worth it or not: [...]

[...] Unlike Sciona, another company offering DNA-tailored diet advice, I was unable to find on the Dermagenetics website any information on which specific gene variants they were testing for. The most detail I could find on the DNA testing was: At the special laboratory a scientifically selected panel of SNPs is analyzed. The SNP technology is so precise that each assay measures only one unit of DNA out of 3 billion units! The Dermagenetics™ SNP panel incorporates an analysis of key skin health genes which code for enzymes that are part of our natural skin cell repair and defense mechanisms. [...]

I went to a lecture by Dr. John Milner with the NIH this last week. Nutrigenomics is very important. He presented many studies that show that variations in certain genes can affect how a person reacts to drugs and other interventions (sodium reduction, fiber intake, etc..).
I think there should be a scientific review of the data by Sciona and others.
Otherwise, the $200-300 is a small price to pay for a little peace of mind.
