Seen a lot of relatives get cancer and all of it can be put down to bad diet , smoking and/or lack of exercise. Very few people get cancer for genetic reasons
alone and if they do they are very unlucky. If someone eats poorly (sugar,fatty foods, red meat) then its long odds on they are going to get cancer or heart disease at some point. Agree with the OP ,its irresponsible. Cancer is a made made illness in the vast majority of cases. You don't get many people dying in the 3rd world of cancer but if you sent them cigarettes and sugar goods it wouldn't be long before a lot did. Milk preventing osteoporosis is enough myth -the countries consume the most diary produce have the highest rate of osteoporosis. |

There certainly is a body of thought and evidence now that suggests our genetic makeup is not a destiny of disease or no disease but a blueprint. Think of it as the ghost of christmas yet to come but as scrooge finds out not neccessarily of what has to be. There is a pool of genes which was originally termed the junk genes until genetecists discovered that they are in fact promotors. They in conjunction with your lifestyle can activate or not activate physical and behavioural charactersitics through your genes. They have discovered that a present gene for a certain disease will result in a greater or lesser incidence of that disease depending on lifestyle. Certain genes can therefore be blue touch paper rather than an inevitable occurance of disease.
