Single nucleotide polymorphisms influence individual metabolism of micronutrients and macronutrients, leading to different food responses.

“So there there are a variety of we all have differences in our genes. And, you know, they're they're oftentimes just a change in one what's called nucleotide, you know, a nucleotide change in the sequence of DNA. And it's often referred to as a single nucleotide polymorphism. So a snip, we call it for short. But it's kind of what's, you know, differentiating between why some people have brown eyes or blue eyes or blonde hair or red hair. But in addition to those phenotypes and characteristics, there's also a variety of snips in genes that are involved in metabolizing micronutrients like magnesium, vitamin D, omega three. But, you know, in addition to micronutrients, macronutrients as well. So people are very different in the way they respond to foods.”
