Happy to share with you our latest #systematicreview led by @diromiza. We found that evidence on gene-diet interactions on CVD is limited and lacks correction for multiple testing, replication, and sample size consideration.

We need to know more about the new strain of SARS-CoV-2 mentioned by Matt Hancock before drawing any alarming conclusions. Mutations are common in viruses. Previous mutations have not had a great impact on the infectivity of the virus or the seriousness of the illness it causes.

By the way, with gene editing medicines,
we seem to entering a new era of:
"Molecular Surgery"
"surgery" because this is a permanent change to our own body to improve health
"molecular" because the thing being changed is DNA in our own cells or organs
Here's the paper describing ex vivo gene editing to cure sickle cell disease.
Will prove to be a landmark one.
