Hi CDreamer , this does sound and look good but unfortunately I don't subscribe to the Times so am unable to read the article in full, it does sound very interesting though.

There are a handful of articles out there about these tests: one person orders a testing kit from 3 or 4 places, sends a DNA sample to all of them at the same time, one comes back saying your DNA shows you should eat low carb, another says you need to eat high carb, and the third says a mediteranean diet (moderate fat, moderate carb) is the one for you. Unfortunately after seeing a handful of these articles/blogs, I'm put off spending any money on one for myself.

It's not that they take your money and just send you a generic report, but they all test different gene arrangements, and the data they rely on comes from different sources, that recommends different things.

Actually this is a lot more than that - but I get what you are saying.

I know the bracelet is more than that, but it will only work as well as the information you put into it. If you choose the wrong DNA test, the bracelet won't work.

Hi CDreamer it depends on its accuracy but an interesting concept and article.

Jerry 😊
