The far-ranging Human Genome Project is producing a breathtaking revolution in health, raising the prospect of averting hereditary "destined" diseases by modifying the expression of genetic traits. Researchers have identified many genes implicated in specific diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and arthritis and have realized that unfavorable genetic messages can be improved by changes in lifestyle, diet, and environment. Genetic Nutrioneering uses detailed questionnaires to show how to "read" genetic characteristics and how specific foods and nutrients can be used to improve gene expression to slow biological aging and reduce the risk of age-related diseases. It covers the use of gene expression for preventing heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and hormone-related problems, and improving immune and nervous system function. A comprehensive nutritional program presents specific foods, supplements, and diet plans that apply these concepts to an individual's needs.

    This book is a must read for people looking to achieve their optimal genetic potential healthwise. Dr Bland explains clearly how our genes express the messages and affect the cellular level functioning according to the environment they are in. Under optimal environment, the gene message translation and post-translation effects lead to highly functional body, mind. The author explains how nutritioneering can be used to turn on helpful genetic messages and turn off bad genetic messages. This book is definitely a good read for anyone wanting to understand how optimal body, mind can be achieved through nutritioneering.

    As a Nutritional Science Masters Student, it was refreshing to read such a interesting book on nutrition and it's potential to influence genetics. It was a great mix of science and everyday language - anyone would understand this and learn! I really recommend this book. It's not a textbook for any students out there, but summarises the concepts and brings together many view points, forcing you to think wider than perhaps what we assume we know about nutrition and it's links to chronic disease.

    Large portions of the text are repetitive. The term 'Genetic Nutritioneering' is repeated a few time on every page. The material on genetics is highly simplified, and really has no impact on the nutritional advice.

    Bland suggests we take control of our genes, which isn't a bad idea. In Bland's terms, we need to learn to 'express' the genes for health. The genes that worked hard in youth can be encouraged to express themselves, again. While this is a nice slogan, its meaning is very vague. What isn't going to 'express' some gene? What is key step in a gene's expression? What causes a bad gene to be expressed? How does one deal with a race between two genes seeking expression?

    The pragmatist wants some process for quickly assessing what a specific food or supplement will do for their metabolism. Everyone has a somewhat different metabolism and somewhat different set of foods which are easy to digest. Most of the people reading 'nutrition' books are interested primarily because they see their digestive system as unique and special. Thus, it seems logical to look for advice that goes past 'population wide' recommendations. Towards these ends, Bland is vague. For example, at one point Bland advises the reader to stop eating tomatoes for a few days. This test will determine if tomatoes cause an unpleasant gene to be expressed, one that causes gastro-intestinal distress. Most people would have run this simple test long before they knew anything about genetics. At other times, Bland simply quotes the standard 'population wide' recommendation.

    In my view, the suggestions don't really rise above 'eat the right fruits and vegetables and you will feel better.'

    This is simply the best book writen on this subject.Many books make bold claims, but DR Bland takes complicated subjects and makes them easily undestandable.This book makes sense andis backed with links to appropriate studies. He doesn't expect yo to leap blindly. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the latest in healthcare technology.

    Reviewed in Italy on March 16, 2018
    Buon libro, con informazioni utili per migliorare la propia salute. Lo consiglio anche perché si fa riferimento ai gruppi sanguigni e a come questi interagiscono con l'alimentazione e i gruppi sanguigni. L'unica cosa l'edizione é datata -e mi sembra non esistano recenti edizioni-, e molte delle cose scritte secondo me andrebbero riviste alla luce degli studi odierni sull'argomento.

    I really like this book and find it very interesting, but i don't agree in the whole theory about the blood type diet (ABO diet) that they advocate in some chapters of the book, and i can't see any real scientific evidence about the ABO diet in the scientific literature.
