I disagree, there is more to it than that. Genetics is the primary cause of diabetes and heart disease. You can be predetermined for any of it, but living a healthy lifestyle will surely increase your chances of never having any problems.

so you'd rather believe a study that is done by a producer of the medicine that relieves the symptoms (temporarily) of the illness being studied over countries that have no western medicine and hardly any instances of the 'diseases' you are claiming are genetic?

For every study that proves metabolic diseases are genetically acquired there is billions of dollars in medication being purchased to 'help' with those diseases. We all have such a warped view of reality because of the information we've been fed our entire lives from the companies that make a fortune off us being sick.

Heart Disease as the example - what is "heart disease"? Its just a name that describes a group of problems with the heart ... each individually is a totally different condition and all heart conditions can be treated with the food you eat - unless you have a physical issue like your heart is in your leg or you only have half of your veins.

Outside stressors can account for much... meaning STRESS without a proper outlet can lead to heart problems, ulcers, strokes, etc. A good regimine of excercise is a good way to deal with the Stress that life brings ( i prefer the heavy bag and dumbells

Couldn't agree more, stress is the number 1 factor that controls how your body absorbs food. exercise also moves the bad shit around the body and helps it to expel it ... but dumbells and punching don't work those parts of your body where the shit gets stored ...

could you touch your toes as a child? can you touch your toes now?

As far as cancer goes, the only proven science detrmines it has most to do with genetics. if cancer runs in your family, you run a significantly higher risk of developing it. certain nutrients, called antioxidents, can slow r even prevent the triggering effect of rampant cel growth.

Where is this proven science?
Do you mean the studies from the scientists who also promised we'd have a cure for cancer before the 80's?

You can't trust science that is funded by the company that the science is about ... Almost all pharmaceutical manufacturers self regulate their medication and are responsible for funding their own 'studies'.

Hi, I sell widgets. You need widgets or you will die because the body can't live without widgets. Please give me money for research so i can find more reasons why your body needs widgets.

I'd much rather follow the medicine of a culture that has 1% of the health problems of western cultures ... they have proof, western medicine has excuses.
