Abstract
Progress in personalized medicine is now being
translated to personalized nutrition. A recent proofof-concept
study shows that the increase in blood
glucose levels after a meal is highly variable between
individuals, but can be predicted by using a
computational model that combines information from
gut microbiome profiles and dietary questionnaires.
This study raises questions about the usefulness of
universal diet recommendations, and suggests we
might need to move on to personalized diets.
