Chef Dr. Mike gives us an intro to Nutrigenomics, the study of how food affects your genes and how your genes affect the way your body responds to food. This is a different way of looking at food than nutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc.) but how different foods have bioactives, chemical compounds that interact with our genes and cause certain genes to turn on or off.
