Summary DNA testing companies are trending nationally, with over 30 million Americans hoping to receive clues to family origins and forecasts of their future health -- not knowing the results can be misleading, or not considering that family secrets can tear apart relationships. The biggest risk, however, may be what these companies do with our information once they have it, so this program objectively explores the promise and peril of consumer DNA testing.
