Now the University of Washington’s Institute from Systems Biology has developed the proverbial “better mousetrap.” Their technique analyzes food-derived DNA in stool samples to determine exactly what a person has consumed. The method, both objective and non-invasive, works effectively on infants, children, and adults.The investigators have dubbed their technique MEDI, which stands for Metagenomic Estimation of Dietary Intake.
