That may be about to change, thanks to a pioneering study from the University of Southern California (USC) aimed at identifying the genetic triggers that determine which dietary regimen is best for each individual person.
Study authors Sean Curran and Shanshan Pang believe that they have pinpointed a package of genetic material that makes individuals more nimble when responding to different diets.
“These studies have revealed that single gene mutations can alter the ability of an organism to utilize a specific diet,” says Curran in a USC press release. “In humans, small differences in a person’s genetic makeup that change how well these genes function could explain why certain diets work for some but not others.”
