"We have 19 genes we've identified that have a clear and defined response to diet and environmental or lifestyle choices," says Rosalynn Gill-Garrison, a molecular biologist who helped found the Sciona company in 2000. Worried about that caffeine-calcium link? Sciona tests for that, as well as genetic variants that affect insulin sensitivity, cholesterol levels and more...
