Can you do that with human DNA and ask them to check for random things?? This sounds like an awesome business ---

Do youconsume “energy” drinks? These drinks and candies contain caffeine. While there may be some benefits associated with moderate caffeine consumption, recent research has documented that individuals with certain genetic variants are at increased risk of health problems when they consume caffeine. Specifically, people with a particular variant in a cytochrome P450 gene (CYP1A2) may have an increased risk developing hypertension,non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI; heart attack) or recurrent pregnancy loss, depending on levels of caffeine consumption. > > By genetic testing for this variant of the CYP1A2 allele, you will learn whether you are a fast or slow metabolizer of caffeine. Slow metabolizers of caffeine may be able to reduce their risk of future health problems bymodifyingtheir intake of caffeine.
