Summary

This study's primary objective is to determine if providing individuals with personal genetic information impacts dietary intake behaviour. Specifically, the investigators will be examining whether providing dietary advice based on genes that affect the metabolism of or sensitivity to caffeine, vitamin C, sugar and sodium will impact the intake of these dietary components. The study hypothesis is that providing dietary advice based on genetics will impact dietary behaviour to a greater extent than general dietary recommendations.
