米国で「DNA検査」ブーム
Asahi Weekly January 13,2019
This article surprised me.
I googled and read some articles concerned with this topic.
According to 2018 Lean Larkin www.theDNAgeek.com/dna-test, the number of users total topped 12million in the U.S.
In the U.S., a lot of people are curious about their ancestry, where they come from.
As America is a country of immigrants, to find unknown relatives or unexpected roots is sometimes big gift for American people.
On the other hand, one authority sounds the alarm that the DNA testing booming might promote a white supremacism.
I realized that Japan and America extremely differ in histrorical background.
Till now, when I heard "DNA" testing, "parentage testing" was all I can come up with.
When it comes to Japan, various DNA testing kits are available, especially, for diet!
We can find which genetic factors make us obesity.
At the result, we can choose suitable ingredients and meals and fitness.
How curious!
