John Wiley & Sons, Hoboken, NJ, has released Science, Society and the Supermarket: The Opportunities and Challenges of Nutrigenomics by David Castle, Cheryl Cline, Abdallah Daar, Charoula Tsamis and Peter Singer. Despite the vast potential for this science in the prevention, mitigation, or possible cure of a variety of chronic diseases and cancers, regulations for emerging direct-to-public nutrigenomic tests are still in their infancy. This comprehensive analysis of the social, legal, and ethical issues surrounding this new technology explores the anticipated risks and expected benefits of nutrigenomics. The book covers such topics as the ethics of nutrigenomic tests, alternatives for delivering nutrigenomic services, the regulation of health claims and intellectual property issues.
