its a dna test that checks your health and ancetry and and dna for diseases and mental health and just a bunch of different stuff. SP can be more of a help to you since im not good at explaining it.

Those kind of things can be a bit sketchy. I saw this program about them once and they tested a bunch of them and they all had different results.

Also some insurance companies and that are fighting to have knowledge of these tests. So if you find out you have genes that make it more likely than average you'll get cancer or heart disease they will use that info to deny you insurance or charge you premiums.

I think the idea is kind of cool but I wouldn't get any done until they become more accurate and consistent and when I also know for sure insurance companies or banks won't use the info to screw me over.
