Curious about my ancestors and not my predisposition to illnesses, I had my saliva tested by 23AndMe a number of years ago. Imagine my surprise when the company recently shared thirty-four traits gleaned from my DNA.
To think that they are able describe me from a globule of spit is a bit unnerving. Here are some of the highlights:

Aha! Here I thought I’d tripped them up. I much prefer vanilla ice cream but, if given a choice, I want it with chocolate syrup. |
About the asparagus…. Apparently, your urine smells differently after eating it, and 66% of those with my genetic type can smell the difference.
Hmmm. I’ve never noticed. Do you want to know when I find out, or is that too much information?
