A new study at Tufts University asks a simple yet profound question: how does food affect your body?
To put it to the test, four people were kept in a building in Boston for two weeks at a time. If they went out, they were followed. They were given four meals a day at precise times and had to eat every bite. Meanwhile, monitors attached to their bodies would track their bodies' responses.
"It was like living in a hotel, so that was great. We had a beautiful view. So it was like a nice hotel with not so nice, well, the furniture was a little to be desired. But it was great because we didn't have to grocery shop for two weeks, no grocery shopping, no cooking, no doing dishes.""I just want to say hi to and commend for their enthusiasm as study participants — they participated in a study called Nutrition for Precision Health.
"The end game is to understand the various factors that contribute to how we respond to specific dietary patterns so that we can develop algorithms, predictive equations that ultimately would allow your primary care physician, for example, to give guidance on what is the best diet for you.""Well, because I'm a science person. I have a biology degree and I've always worked in biotech and pharma — and doing this was kind of a leap for us, but we dove in.
