- Home DNA test kits promise to reveal everything from your health, pre-disposition to diseases and even who your ancestors are! But just how accurate are they and are they worth your money?
DNA provides the instructions for how we look and function, and home genetic test kits claim to be able to revolutionise our lives through analysis of that information.
Alongside Talking Point hosts Steven Chia, Shrey Bhargava and Munah Bagharib, Sharda Harrison takes on two DNA tests and reviews the data that could influence factors beyond her sleep, skin and nutrition. What do the results of DNA tests mean and are they worth their (sometimes high) price tags? Find out on Talking Point.

I just love CNA Insider. The topics are always sooooooo interesting. I am in the USA and the same topics/subjects are not presented in the way CNA Insider does it. It is informative and the presentations are always entertaining and hold my attention. I just love the programming. Thank you.
Yup, I regularly watch from Australia. Never even been to Singapore, but CNA is really good programming.
Our family got one, and the test concluded that we were all 20% Japanese. Problem with that is that it meant that something probably bad happened to a female family member during the Japanese occupation of Korea, resulting in our lineage. This caused a lot of angst in my sisters, wondering who’s side of the family was responsible for our impure (probably rape) of a grandmother or great grandmother.
Turned out later that all Koreans who took this crap test got 20% Japanese lineage. Moral of the story is they know little about dna and how to interpret this initial data being given.
Chinese and Japanese are genetically related, so are all East Asians even Native Americans are genetically related to East Asians, I'm African American with Native American ancestry, I pick up Chinese and Vietnamese as well as other East Asian ancestry.
20:05 Shows one of her passwords that are hashed has been leaked before, that does not confirm that attackers have manage to break the hashed password to obtain the plaintext variant of her password. While it is good to educate the public on the risks of leaked PII and passwords, most leaks are hashed variants with salt and if the hashes are strong enough it is not 100% certain that the plaintext password has been leaked. This is honestly bad explanation coming from a cybersecurity professional
I did 2 test too. Circle and Sequencing. Both have come contradictory results too. The reason why I did 2 is because Circle does not provide raw data, so I can't drill down such as MTHFR details nor do I have the raw data for 2nd opinion. But Circle comes with a nice app and consultation.
Ancestrydna and 23andme are the only reliable tests
I always want to try this but I am skeptical.. as always the content from my fav channel give me a pick me up before sleep 🥰
I would rather spend the $2k to get a clinical all rounder check up on health conditions which has the best accuracy compare to swabs of saliver which seems gimmick. Other than the perks of finding out your ancestors, the health risk park seems not reliable to me.
23 and me is the most accurate for me . and just because your brothers and sisters come from the same parents.. doesn't mean that you're All goin to have similar results or even close to each other!!
whoa really?
23 and me was the most confusing to me. I heard 23 and me is more accurate for Europeans instead of Asians.
😂🤣
After watching this, I don't feel like getting any of such test. The company can't even provide a percentage number on the accuracy. What for getting a test that is unreliable?
Circle DNA provides a scale of confidence in each finding. On a scale of 5, most would hover at 3 but occasionally there will be 4 and 5s.
You should get a DNA test from the Chinese companies they have the most DNA test results from the mainland populations.
Easy way to DNA testing debunk is
To send DNA samples of people with per existing diseases
Cancer
Heart
Etc
And then getting the results to see if DNA results match🖖
Next time I will like to do a video for CNA insider , I like the topics been taken by them
Sadly few read terms and conditions, or what is in a contract. Even fewer watch videos like this.
I tried this and sort of regret it as the results were all over the place. They kept on changing the results to the point that it made no sense.
I did not do the health thing though. I only did the ancestry part only.
Before it was pretty accurate when it comes to distinguishing between Viet and Chinese (exactly 12.5 if you have one Viet/Chinese grandparent） but in the latest algorithm most Southern Chinese show Dai and Viet so it's impossible to tell if it's just noise or an ancient Viet/Dai ancestor. They're trying to copy Chinese technology and letting down their American and international customer base. Too bad you can't sue them and get your DNA back and for lying to you, basically.
@@restoftheworld7200 Really? They clumped it all together with me so I got confused.... basically, it is BS which I regret spending money on.
That was fascinating. Thank you.
Me and my boyfriend recently took My Heritage DNA Test Kit. Although, both of us are from different parts of Mexico. The DNA results came with detailed percentages, ethnicities, part of the exact country, and little history background of that specific group that shows in our DNA. DNA test are not suppose to be 100% accurate is more like an estimation. The company that I got, I personally liked it. It took about a month to get results. And some things were pretty accurate in my opinion. On my side of the family we were always curious why newborns looked like Asian babies. Turns out, I do have 4% Japanese in my DNA. Even till this day, some people think I’m Vietnamese or from the Philippines and I have to tell them not even close I’m Mexican as hell. Lol 😂
You're probably picking up Japanese from your Indigenous American ancestry, East Asians and Native Americans are genetically related, I'm African American with Native American ancestry I pick up Chinese & Vietnamese from Myheritage.
thats because native americans are genetically related to the japanese the same.
how did you send out the samples? singpost wouldnt let me
Chinese and Singaporeans are nationalities and not ethnic group. There are 56 ethnic groups in China. Steve, you are Han Chinese with no Malay blood.
Northern and western minority of China are not Han Chinese. Don't be confused.
I think they mean Han Chinese or they mean Chinese rather than Malay.
@@brettknoss486
If you look closer at the reports, under the word Chinese, there are several ethnic groups. Chinese here just means nationality and not ethnicity.
@@cyber8019 ok I thought Chinese was referring to Singaporians.
@@brettknoss486
Singaporeans is a nationality and not ethnicity. Singapore has three main ethnic groups - Han Chinese, Malay, Tamil (South Asian)
@@cyber8019
Han Chinese are not ethnic Chinese either hence is a generic name/concept that Sun yat sen the founder of the ROC came up with to united all the mainland peoples against the Japanese empire since then Han Chinese became synonym with the mainland peoples not because they're ethnic Han Chinese.
Personally I´ll opt to wait until there is a service that properly sequences my entire genome and I have all the rights to those data, not through a server but on a physical drive. This way the genome can be useful to me and my doctor, and not so easy for hackers to get to. Heritage seems mostly relevant in North America, where there is much genetic variance. And even there it´s unreliable and simplistic. For entertainment purposes only. Again, having one´s own DNA on a drive would make it possible to analyse it whenever new genetic studies come out.
She’s my son’s doctor! she’s very nice and helpful!
Is the video on collagen taken down?
I did 2 DNA tests MyHeritage and Genera Labs Argentina
Cna the best ♥️♥️♥️
What if the meat we eat also carries dna ancestry?
I always wanted to know this!
which test did you use?
Try to get twins to do the dna test, u will realise it is pure nonsense when their result is very different.
Marketplace Canada did this already, one of their presenters has an identical twin sister and they tried the test with different kits. They got different results.
th-cam.com/video/Isa5c1p6aC0/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=CBCNews
Twins did do it and their results were different.
It's a scam then
how can I get that test?
I have never had any desire to get the DNA test. Unless I need a kidney replacement... who cares what it shows? My mom did our genealogy back in the early 1970s, she got it back into the 1700s. I saved it all when the family fell apart, but never paid it much attention (but did computerize all of in the 90s). It will not change who I am. Did some of my ancestors do something bad - or good - perhaps, but that has no bearing on my life today. 😎
"all information that customer provides is encrypted via SSL" LOL..hahahha..means it is not encrypted after it reach their servers!
Some ppl say if the companies are not bringing forward any products... you are most likely their product
“We don’t sell your DNA info to 3rd parties”.
Sure….
Sure Jan. . . 😅
I wouldn't take those test, even If I got payed 10 grand for it :D
Hi
Guess both Munah and Steven got that N pass? 😏
Not 100% correct obviously even not close to 50%
DNA can be engineered.😁
lmao that malay girl definitely misinterpreted the 60% chinese label. she has 0% han chinese, it's likely that her chinese ancestors were tibetan/mongol/manchu/uyghur who assimilated under pressure.
She's Arab and not Malay. Chinese here means nationality and not ethnic group. Possibly her northern minority might be Mongol or Manchu who invaded China.
My Chinese was not Han but Zhuang or Dai Chinese as they said but who knows?
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj
It's best to do a gene test with Mofang which is more accurate than all these western dna companies.
Indian are basically different ethnicities who was totally assimilated under extreme pressure, but these history was swept under the carpet, so much that people of different ethnicities look little difference from one another today.
@@teofilol2666 no the indians are a race group (indo-iranians). even the rwanda tutsis have tamilan ancestry thats why tutsis look like the tamils indians. uyghurs and big nose indo-iranian tajiks are chinese too thats why they are called chinese tajiks. chinese is a language as well as ethnic (culture) or nationality while the indians are a race group (indo-iranians).
No.
