While functional foods have become a reasonably well-established concept personalized nutrition is still treated with skepticism by many. The recognition that people would have different nutrient requirements or perceive foods in different ways raises several concernsâsome real some not so real. Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics in Functional Foods and Personalized Nutrition addresses what is needed to bring nutrigenomics nutrigenetics and their associated technologies to market in a truly impactful way. Edited by Lynnette R. Ferguson a well-known and internationally respected researcher the book covers a wide range of issues from the purely scientific to ethical consumer-driven and public health aspects. It takes a close look at geneâdiet interactions and explores the ways in which studies on nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics can help modulate disease risk in cardiovascular disease obesity diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease. Topics include regulatory challenges genetic testing for consumers data mining transcriptomic analysis and the role of science and health professionals in the commercialization of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics. The book also examines industryâacademia partnerships as a nexus between the science and its commercialization by the food industry. These partnerships will be an important determinant of what value the technologies bring not only to the market but to the wider health and well-being of society. Exploring how nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics can help modulate disease risk this timely book brings together stimulating well-thought-out perspectives from established and emerging researchers. It provides valuable information on a subject that is becoming increasingly important for nutritionists dieticians and clinical professionals as well as for the food industry and research community. .
