DNA and the Pescatarian Diet
DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material present in almost all living organisms. It consists of two long chains of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. In the context of consumer products, DNA is not typically used as a direct food ingredient but can be found in certain medications, supplements, cosmetics, and cleaning products due to its properties and functions.
