Can this wristband create your own bespoke DNA diet? – The Telegraph

Could a new wristband that offers bespoke dietary advice also solve the obesity crisis? Victoria Lambert gives the DnaNudge a whirl

Red, green, red, green, red, red, red The light emitting from my new black wristband keeps changing as I hold my wrist up to the foods in our fridge, letting me know whether Ican eat them (green) or not (red). Hellmans mayonnaise: red. Greek yoghurt: red. Tomato ketchup: green.

Lets move over to the pantry, shall we? Mince pies? Hmm - red. No surprises there. But look - Arborio rice: green. Pickled onions: green. Peanut butter, Kenco coffee, Manuka honey all green, green, green. Glenfiddich: green. Yes! And Bisto Best Vegetable Gravy granules: red.

Wait, what? Forget the traffic lights in supermarkets that reveal the nutrient value of foods in general. My new dnanudge wristband which will be available in John Lewis, White City and Waitrose, Canary Wharf, from Monday - is telling me in no uncertain terms what is healthy specifically for me, according to my DNA profile. In particular, its on the lookout for foods high in salt which, I am to learn, are absolute verboten for this Lambert a possibility I had never considered before agreeing to take the latest weapon in the battle to stay healthy: the dnanudge test.
