Food has a future

Diet has a substantial impact on chronic disease and health. Elliot and Ong (p 1438) describe the field of nutritional genomics, which could lead to an explanation of the bioactivities of food constituents. The greatest potential, they say, is likely to be in health maintenance and blocking the early stages of disease development through targeting the genes responsible for disease with nutritional agents. Such work will be complicated by the fact that the natural components of food can have both beneficial and adverse effects.
