Genes and Nutrition:
Are Personalized Diets the Key to Better Health?

Which is better: butter or margarine? Why can’t scientists agree? 
Health conscious Canadians looking for information on what foods they should eat to improve their health are increasingly faced with confusing information. One explanation for the confusion: our genetics affect how our bodies react to food.

Join us over complimentary refreshments to share your thoughts and listen to our expert panel, as they discuss the complex relationships between our genetics and diet and how these relationships influence our susceptibility to chronic diseases.
