This could be why the French, who have been drinking wine for generations, have low heart disease and why Americans who suddenly begin drinking wine for that will not see the same benefit.

For every complex problem there's a simple solution......that's wrong.

The gene regulatory system is a complex network that is only dimly understood at this time. To claim benefit from certain nutrients because they happen to be vaguely involved in that network is mostly wishful thinking.

There's no proof that a low fat diet will make you live longer.......but it'll seem longer ";^)

Thanks decimon.
some scientists are moving away from the "nature versus nurture" debate, and are finding you're not a creature of either genetics or environment, but both... people, plants and animals do start with a certain genetic code at conception. But, the choice of which genes are "expressed," or activated, is strongly affected by environmental influences.
It's a little thing we like to call Lamarckism. :') On Friday nights I make my own fun.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
