Dietética china y nutrigenómica, posibles puntos de convergencia

Chinese Dietetics versatility is a useful resource at both preventive and therapeutic levels. However, since it is founded on qualitative criteria of food, it is difficult for Western dietitians to assimilate Chinese Dietetics. Therefore, it would be useful to find common ground between both dietary theories. Recent advances in Nutrigenomics, such as research on gene regulation by nutrients and discovery of new nutrient entities (i.e. xenomiRs), offer a potential molecular explanation to well established empirical concepts from Chinese Dietetics.
