indeed.
thats not to say we can't have a link to a supplement related feature on the front page
The environment strongly influences how the genome we have inherited is expressed. Nutrition is an environmental factor we can directly control and which can play an important role in healthspan and lifespan. Similarly, there are exist nootropics that may provide benefit in some individuals. One of the reasons, however, that reports of benefits are so conflicting has to do with individual genetic variation. Until we can understand how these differences can be determined it is difficult to suggest with confidence the efficacy of any nutritional program. This is why fora such as ours can be helpful by sharing experiences and building an anecdotal knowledge base that transcends the empirical studies that exist. Unfortunately, the LifeMirage/Unique Nutrition incident has proven there is also an inherent risk in abuse of such media but that should not be a reason not to promote and educate on the benefits of modulating the potential of our genome via nutritional interventions.
