Personal Genomes May Lead To Personalized Vitamin Supplements

Stop them before they screw you up.
"As the cost of sequencing a single human genome drops rapidly, with one company predicting a price of $100 per person in five years, soon the only reason not to look at your "personal genome" will be fear of what bad news lies in your genes...

'Our studies have convinced us that there is a lot of variation in the population in these enzymes, and a lot of it affects function, and a lot of it is responsive to vitamins,' Marini said. 'I wouldn't be surprised if everybody is going to require a different optimal dose of vitamins based on their genetic makeup, based upon the kind of variance they are harboring in vitamin-dependent enzymes.'"
First, that there is so much variation is another nail in the coffin of the morons waiting for the genetic "cure" for being too fat.

Second, if there is so much alleged variation, perhaps there is a reason and mucking around with one will make something else worse.

The problem is, they will not know since they will start playing way before they ever understand the consequences of their actions.
