Nutrigenomics is pretty legit. There is no real inherent difference in the types of compounds that can be present in food and what we will call pharmaceuticals. The only real difference is concentration. The issue underlying all of this, and that the press releases and news reports miss, is that the results are even more variable than with pharmaceuticals. An individual's genetic background makes a huge difference in how they will respond.

There is also the caveat, also frequently missed (but that this press release does mention) in that some of the major work is being done in the context of Metabolic Syndrome

Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., FACN, FACB, CNS, Chief Science Officer for Metagenics, Inc

As a general rule, I find that the more titles/abbreviations that people insist on publicly tacking onto the end of their name, the less likely they are to be an authority as to whatever they're blithering on about.
