Untitled[edit]

Hi! I am a Northeastern student who is working on this page for my advanced writing in the sciences course. My main goal is to strengthen sections and get rid of a lot of the plagiarism, a lot of this page is quoted verbatim from various sources. I am also making it more concise, both out of time constraint and I do think certain sections are repetitive. I am focusing on definitions and background, and hopefully looking to add a cancer section to the applications section of the article and possibly ethics.Akhamhoung (talk) 14:47, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm UWO student who will be working on this page as my Wiki project for the AdGen course. I'm new to editing wiki so please point it out if I've done anything wrong while working on it. Million thanks :) Zkwan3 (talk) 22:02, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is a little mixup between nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics in the article. --Wedian 19:20, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find any legitimate support for this topic. This article suggests this topic should be deleted: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?s=Nutrigenomics --Tim290280 17:48, 01 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for sharing the link... But actually what that article says is that nutrigenomics is a legitimate field of research equivalent to stem cell but unfortunately at risk of quackery ruining its reputation before sufficient research and findings have been made --Dakinijones (talk) 18:26, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm afraid what that article says is that the current practice of using nutrigenomics for "treatment" is quackery. The article says that nutrigenomics is a valid field of research, but it also says that it is strictly in early stages, and that nothing in the research is yet applicable in the real world. As a result, all current talk of using nutrigenomics to address deficiencies and cure diseases is not just premature, it's quackery. To quote the author's conclusion: "There is no compelling evidence for any nutritional treatment for the above diseases, let alone for personalized nutritional treatment based on specific genetic types. How the practitioners of GBIM came by the knowledge they are claiming to have is a mystery... I would add “nutrigenomics” to the list of red flags for dangerous quackery. It is a shame because, like stem cells, it is a legitimate field of research, and the current quackery is likely to taint the reputation of what in the future might be a promising approach."
I think it is fairly clear that the current article is inappropriate and serves to legitimize a practice that does not have legitimacy. In my opinion, the article should be deleted, or should be re-written to make clear that it's describing dubious claims that are not scientifically validated by the medical and research communities. --The_Mental_Nomad — Preceding undated comment added 16:24, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. This needs a rewrite to make it clear this is pseudoscientific quackery. The bogus claims also need to be removed. StevenHirlston (talk) 01:51, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]


This line from the article, for example, is bunk: "Ageing of cells occur because of the accumulation of excess free radicals formed due to the lack of proper nutrition to the cells and external factors like UV rays, pollution, stress, food, etc. DNA analysis is instrumental in identifying the right concoction of nutrients needed to eliminate the excess free radicals present in the cell." --The_Mental_Nomad

I am planning to add a section on application of nutrigenomics in obesity. However, there is an existing topic on the application on anti-aging. I am just wondering if anyone would mind if I just modify the section a little bit, and rename the section as 'Application of nutrigenomics', then move the existing content to subheading 'anti-aging' and add a new one 'obesity'?

predictions and successes[edit]

Could we add sections to address :

  • Does nutrigenomics make any falsifiable predictions ?
  • Is there any evidence of its success in treating diseases ? Rod57 (talk) 10:41, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of articles[edit]

Moved from the article. They don't seem to be sources. Quick look at additions: one initially, mostly here, another here. --Ronz (talk) 02:20, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
