Before you part with your money, I would ask what you expect to get out of the test?
Just because you don't have one particular mutation in one particular gene they test for that predisposes people to a certain condition, doesn't mean you're off the hook for that condition, especially for complex diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.
From a cancer perspective I suppose the most benefit that you might get out of a test like this is to potentially go for early screening for a particular type of cancer (although this, itself is also debatable).
In general we know that lifestyle changes such as eating right, exercise, and not smoking are good for you, do you really need to spend more money to reiterate that?
