One of the drawbacks of nutrigenomics is costly and time-consuming. Nutrigenomics research requires long-term intervention studies to determine the causal relationship between diet and prevention methods and the consequences of disease, which is time-consuming and costly. Nutrigenomics (also known as nutritional genomics) is concerned with studying the links between meals or supplements and a person’s genome, as well as the phenotypic effects of these interactions. Second, the publication of research results on a tiny detail without context outside scientific circles should be prevented. The inherent complexity of nutrigenomics research implies that research findings of minute details should only be published in the context of the larger context
.
Admittedly, a personalized, health-oriented diet actually plays a role, there are particular ethical questions associated with the scientific characteristics of nutrigenomics. Nutrigenomics is a new and emerging discipline of genomics that studies the effects of food intake on the entire genome (complete genetic makeup, including epigenetic changes). Proteome is the total number of proteins and metabolome is the total number of molecules in the body and the sum of all metabolites. To address the issue of consumers’ slight vulnerability to expectations and hypes, it is necessary to set up independent gatekeepers to ensure independence from testing, marketing, communication and delivery of nutrigenomics services. Nutrigenomics attempts to determine the effects of various nutrients on the genome, including macro and micronutrients, and studies the interactions between genes and nutrients or bioactive foods and their
consequences for human health.
Therefore, proteomics is an important resource for nutrigenomics, as it provides a link between genome sequences and cell behavior and serves as a biological tool to understand the process of evaluating genetic functions and understanding how the genome is activated in response to a specific diet. A non-exhaustive list of uncertainties that must be considered when ethically evaluating the dynamics of nutrigenomics services and products comprises at least five types, the first three being primarily cognitive and the last two primarily social and normative. Dietary genetics (also known as nutrigenetics) is a branch of nutrigenomics that studies how genomic variants interact with dietary variables and the consequences of these interactions. Health should be a secondary goal when it comes to eating (Korthals 200) and consumer groups should be strengthened as stakeholders and given a voice not only in the downstream area of nutrigenomics (in terms of end products) but also ahead of the
nutrigenomics research agenda.
Nutrigenomics manufacturers who comply with corporate social responsibility rules can help consumers decipher advertising slogans and advertising messages. An ethic of participation in continuous discussion of the intricacies of nutrigenomics is more appropriate. One implication is that there is a high probability of false claims and unrealistic expectations, which consumers must be (sensitized) to by critical nutrigenomics researchers. Governments can help consumers by democratically organizing the nutrigenomics research agenda that is not exclusively focused on personalized nutrition but is focused on preventing widespread, widespread and chronic diseases
is.
