From Nutrigenomics to Microbiomics: New Interpretations

In this work we analyze the current interpretations based on the studies of Nutrigenomic and Microbiomics, according to which, at the base of many pathological and dysmetabolic manifestations, there would be or variations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (Snps), in the Nutrigenomic vision, or changes of the normal gut microbiota, in the Microbiomic conception. In particular, we analyze critically, the singular pathogenic coincidence, which for the same pathologies calls into question or Snps mutations or the presence of specific modifications of the Microbiota. Other possible causes of observed diseases are thus neglected. On the basis of the literature examined, we present a different interpretation of pathogenic causes.
