Research project reveals even identical twins have different responses to food
The findings demonstrate that old-fashioned, one-size-fits-all dietary guidelines are too simplistic.
A research project led by an international team of leading scientists, including researchers from King's College London, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Mass., and ZOE Global Ltd., UK, shows that individual responses to the same foods are unique, even between identical twins.
The findings demonstrate that old-fashioned, one-size-fits-all dietary guidelines are too simplistic, and that a personalized approach to nutrition is likely to provide better long-term health benefits.
