We now have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of our unique risk of developing certain conditions through DNA testing. Not only will we be able to determine which areas of our own health we should focus on, but some direction as to which nutritional and skin care products will best serve our individual needs in the area of preventive health and aging.
"By examining a person's DNA, which can be taken from the mouth with just a small swab or scraping device. It is already possible to predict the probability that a person will develop certain diseases. And soon, based on the recently completed mapping of the human genome, it should be possible to predict every forthcoming disease or condition not caused by external (i.e. diet and exercise) factors." Best-selling author, economist and futurist Paul Zane Pilzer, in his book The Next Trillion
