For those concerned about their nutritional intolerances, a food sensitivity test might be able to help determine a healthy and stress-free diet. One such option on the market is PinnerTest -- a product that is said to be "the most comprehensive" of its kind.
This is essentially a "Next Generation finger-prick blood test" kit that is sent to one's home. The food sensitivity test compares data from the body's immune system and matches up the response to proteins in up to 200 foods. PinnerTest boasts easy-to-follow instructions and once completed, consumers can send their samples back to the company's lab for testing. The postage stamp is paid for. The results can be expected to arrive via e-mail in seven to 10 days.
