One of the most interesting results was finding out I belong to Haplogroup U which according to Wiki:
"Haplogroup U is found in approximately 11% of native Europeans and is held as the oldest maternal haplogroup found in that region. In a 2013 study, all but one of the ancient modern human sequences from Europe belonged to maternal haplogroup U, thus confirming previous findings that haplogroup U was the dominant type of Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in Europe before the spread of agriculture into Europe and the presence and the spread of the Indo-Europeans in Western Europe."
Since all my ethnicity also came back as Western Europe, mostly Irish, British, Scandinavian, it confirmed for me that I'm on the right track by following the Paleo/Primal/LCHF way of eating
I already knew that just from the increasing health benefits I've experienced over the last 4 years, but was good to have it confirmed in black and white
