Did You Know: 50% of Canadians don’t know what their DNA influences?

This holiday season, Canadian families can bond even closer over shared traits that are genetic, like whether you like the taste of fresh cilantro (wondering why you and your siblings have always picked it off your plates growing up?)

How much do Canadians know about their DNA influences?

– More than two-thirds (68%) of Canadians class themselves as introverts, but almost half of them (46%) were unaware that this comes down to their genes.

– While 66% of Canadians know that DNA can impact their dreams, only 15% know that it also impacts the scent of their urine after eating asparagus.

– Just 25% of sprinters know to credit their talent with more than just training.
