Very interesting reading. Thanks.
Mapping the Mario Batali Genome
The ancestral makeup of celebrity chef Mario Batali, among others, will be revealed in "Faces of America," a new PBS series from the producers of "African American Lives" and "Oprah’s Roots."
Like those earlier programs, in which Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. helped analyze the DNA of notable African Americans to explore their historic ancestries, the new series will explore the identity of a new slate of celebrities -- this time from a wide variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Will we discover a biological basis for Batali's preference for Crocs? Did the first Batalis also go gaga for guanciale? We can only hope.
"Faces of America" is expected to air on PBS in 2010.

By combining the latest discoveries in human genetics with a deeper understanding of the hundreds of compounds found in food, investigators have begun to tease apart some of the more complex interactions between your diet and your DNA. In the process, they hope eventually to give consumers more personalized advice about what to eat and drink to stave off heart disease, cancer and other chronic conditions of aging.
Would a high-fat diet be particularly damaging to your health, given your genetic makeup? About 15% of folks are born with a form of a liver enzyme that causes their HDL, or good cholesterol, level to go down in response to dietary fat. In most people the HDL level goes up, counterbalancing some of the bad effects of dietary fat on LDL--the dangerous cholesterol.
