Artificial Intelligence May Be Able to Help Determine the Best Diets for Everyone
Which is better for your health: beetroot or broccoli? What foods can cause the greatest glucose spikes and cholesterol surges in blood?
The next frontier in nutrition science is custom diets. Artificial intelligence (AI), which will help us all figure out what we should and shouldn’t eat, will be a key part of this.
In January 2022, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded $170 million to help fund institutions in the US to conduct a five year study that included 10,000 participants. This was the beginning of an ambitious program called nutrition for precision health (NPH).
CNN spoke with Holly Nicastro (program director at the NIH office for nutrition research and coordinator of NPH) about the project’s goals and the impact of AI on our health. AI helps us to create optimal diets and improve our overall health.
