1. DNA Testing Isn't As Scary As You Think
DNA (which stands for "Deoxyribonucleic Acid") is something we all learn about in school, but how often do we really use this information in daily life? If we hark back to the fact that it is basically the stuff that carries our biological identity... it begs the question: shouldn't we know more about it? When asked about the common misconceptions that surround DNA Testing, Hanerfled pointed these out:
Blood Needs to Be Drawn
There are absolutely no needles involved in taking a DNA test. They are done by swabbing out the saliva from your cheek for about half a minute with a Q-tip and then sending it to a lab. That’s it.
Personal Information Might Be Shared
All results are completely confidential.
DNA Test Kit Is Expensive
You can order our Fitness & Nutrition test for only $149.
