  A host of applications are using artificial intelligence to make personalized diet recommendations, based on research demonstrating that individual bodies respond differently to the same foods. The DayTwo app uses a machine learning algorithm based on research by scientists at Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science to chart individual dietary regimes, in order to control blood sugar. The algorithm can identify patterns and learn from data with human assistance, analyzing information from individuals' blood sugar responses to tens of thousands of meals to recognize personal characteristics underlying certain glucose reactions. From these findings, DayTwo can forecast a specific food's effect on blood sugar, and assign scores to meals. Last year, DayTwo learned that in using the algorithm to match diet to an individual's microbiome and metabolism, it could control blood sugar more effectively than the Mediterranean diet.  ....
