AI is making nutrition more accurate, accessible, and efficient than ever before by utilizing machine learning, big data, and biometric tracking. Conclusively, it would not be wrong to say that nutrition is hyper-personalized today. But is the hype around Hyper-Personalized Nutrition reliable enough, when it's powered by technology i.e., a collective result of data, analytics, AI, and automation.

Artificial intelligence has a big role across industries today, including nutrition. Undoubtedly, Artificial intelligence (AI) can aid in dietary planning but cannot replace expert consultation. While AI may offer helpful tools, its reliance on potentially biased online sources limits the reliability of its information or say, credible research.
