Good and bad?. I have people asking me to be checked whole body to see if they have cancer after one of this test announce an slight risk of cancer. This is important to realize, what is the impact on peoples mind, the fear caused by this knowledge. Well, if the genetic test identify you in a percentage of increased risk for diseases what ethical answer can we give to patients. Perhaps this idea need to be regulated in terms of what information should be public and not to cause harm. Just be aware of the bad experiences with genetic decoding in Europe, where a genetic program was acquired by Insurance industry. Now there is class action lawsuit against the company that perform the genetic testing and sold it to the Insurance company. Is necessary to know the risk of diseases? I think not. Most of the diseases are clearly defined as multifactorial in risk. Only a few disease are really genetically carried by families this are the ones that we need to identify.

And I’m looking forward to learning more about Helix Health.

blargumentor – People’s reactions to these tests are going to be varied, and this is one area of great concern for those in the field. And let’s face it – no matter what our gene profile reveals, the suggestions are always going to include healthy diet and exercise!

These companies will push on and pooh-pooh physicians. It is the classic nutrigenomics play. I just wish more people would come out with Helix-like models. I would be happy to show them how.

Ok, so you heard it second here at TGG! And I guess third, if you read the Houston Chronicle. Well, anyway, it will be interesting to see what products they choose to offer.
