Abstract

Based on recent conflicting views on nutritional approaches, are nutrition health professionals meant to wait until key long-term human randomized controlled trials of good methodological quality are published on UK-type populations, a process that could take decades at the current rate. Instead, they could embrace the new ‘omic’ technologies as innovative tools to help personalized nutrition. Based on current findings, a single microbiome test can provide more reliable information about a person’s health than a genome screen and major disruptions are seen in allergy, obesity, colitis and irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes or even cancer. While treating every patient as a research subject, health professionals should see every meal as an opportunity, and every food as a potential drug.
