DNA 'Spit Party" Draws Celebs, Sparks Concerns

When I think of "Fashion Week" I definitely think of a "Spit Party".  That's sarcasm at it's most blatant by the way.

Apparently a company by the name of 23andMe hosted a DNA 'Spit Party' during Fashion Week that attracted so much attention that celebrities were utilizing their services.

The tests told each individual everything they wanted to know, and didn't want to know.  Including whether or not they carried the obesity gene and if couples should have a child of their own.

As weird as it may sound, it definitely intrigued me.  I want to know what "bad" and "good" genes I carry.  It's a little pricey, $399, but it seems like a reasonable enough fee to possibly explore. You can read the full story by click here
