Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics:

Nutrigenetics goal is to identify how genetic difference affects response to nutrients. This information can be pragmatic to enhance health, and prevent diseases. The ultimate goal of nutrigenetics is to offer people modified nutrition based on their genetic makeup.  Nutrigenomics is a branch of Nutritional genomics which studies about the effects of food constituents on gene expression. This means that Nutrigenomics is research focusing on identifying and understanding molecular-level interaction between nutrients and other dietary bioactive with the genome. Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics hold much potential for providing better nutritional information to the public generally, genetic subgroups and individuals.
