Customer Reviews of GenoType Diet Home GenoTyping Kit
Customer Review: Misnomer - This is a Phenotyping Kit based on pseudoscience
Summary: 1 Stars
Several direct-to-consumer companies (23andme, Navigenics, deCODEme) are now offering personal genotyping services for between $999 and $2500. So I was intrigued to discover this "Genotyping Kit" for only $14.95 - it is a companion to the book by D'Adamo and Whitney: The GenoType Diet: Change Your Genetic Destiny to live the longest, fullest and healthiest life possible. I'll describe the contents of the kit shortly but let me say first that the authors take great liberties with their definition of the word "genotype" (but then again, the more accurate title "The Gene Expression Regulation and Embryological Epigenetic DNA Methylation Diet" probably didn't go anywhere with the publisher).
The kit is shipped in an envelope that also contains advertisements and price lists for many additional products including the "GenoType Diet Supplement System" and "Genoma Skin(TM) Day Light Face Cream." The kit itself contains 8 items: two fold-up pamphlet worksheets entitled "Easy-Typing Guide" and "Advanced Calculator" where you record several specific PHENOTYPES (look it up), a fingerprinting card and ink pad, two "moist towelettes" to clean the ink off your fingers, a matchbook-type container of thiourea taste strips and a flimsy blue ruler/protractor for measuring finger lengths, jaw angle, cranial dimensions, etc. (Mouse-over the notes on the customer images for more details.) If you're going to buy either this kit, or its companion diet book, you'll also want another kit at your side: Carl Sagan's BALONEY DETECTION KIT in The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.
NOTE: If you would like to know some of the real science behind genes and diet, see Nutrigenomics and Beyond: Informing the Future - Workshop Summary.
