Abstract
This invention relates generally to providing nutrigenomic information tailored to that of the customer so that the customer can make informed decisions regarding diet, exercise, risks of disease and other health issues that result in a healthier lifestyle and prolonged lifespan. In particular the invention provides systems for research and commercial purposes, particularly for research for improving dietary constituents, personalized nutrition and diets, and of nutrient-gene interactions involved in diseases. The invention further relates to a method for doing business encompassing establishing and running a nutrigenomic research super-market and providing validated nutrient intake data to health care practitioners.

57. A method for providing an individual with a personalized diet for said individual, the personalized diet optimised to reduce the likelihood that said individual will succumb to a disease or disorder, the method comprising the steps of (i) collecting nutritional information relating to one or more consumable items procured by the individual;
- (ii) storing the collected nutritional information in a first database;
(iii) collecting biological information from the individual, which biological information is associated with health or disease outcomes;
(iv) storing the collected biological information in a second database;
(v) repeating steps (i) through (iv) at predetermined intervals;
(vi) at any one interval, generating a statistical correlation that associates nutritional information with biological information;
(vii) using the statistical correlation to provide the individual with a personalized diet optimised to reduce the likelihood of the individual succumbing to a disease or disorder;
