...Hyundai Motor's car factory in India, set amid palm-studded marshes on the outskirts of Madras, is a gleaming example of what could be the future of India's economy. Built for $1 billion, its high-tech robots and monstrous steel-pressing machines will churn out 300,000 Accent sedans and other vehicles this year, at world-class quality levels.

By combining the latest discoveries in human genetics with a deeper understanding of the hundreds of compounds found in food, investigators have begun to tease apart some of the more complex interactions between your diet and your DNA. In the process, they hope eventually to give consumers more personalized advice about what to eat and drink to stave off heart disease, cancer and other chronic conditions of aging. "We are trying...
