Diet, alcohol, tobacco and drug intake, psychological stress, and living environment all have an impact on epigenetic factors.

Diet - I have a large diet. Got that one covered
alcohol, tobacco and drug intake - I intake the minimum daily requirement there -check
psychological stress - every time I turn on the tv I get that - check
living environment - it don't get no better than a trailer park - check

So, I'm following all that they recommend, so I'm good. Right?

The science of epigentics has become a hot topic in recent years. Like the article says, external influences play a big factor in gene expression. A gene’s job is to make proteins. It can produce too much (over expressed) or too little (under expressed). Since a lot of these proteins are signaling molecules a change in the signaling can cause critical processes to go haywire. For example cells receive a signal when it’s time to die, to divide, etc, but if the signaling is messed up these cells will receive wrong signals and stop dying or start dividing uncontrollably, etc. A mutation in a critical gene can trigger it. Previously it was thought that mutations were all that mattered. Once a gene had a harmful mutation, cancerous or precancerous, nothing could be done about it other than killing the cell (with drugs..etc), but now as the article says research is showing you can control the ‘activity’ of those mutated genes through external lifestyle factors. These are factors outside of the gene controlling their behavior, thus “epi”genetic.

In addition, there are several nutritional elements that can control and treat cancer. A review in the journal Epigenomics concluded that the following nutrients and foods can alter epigenetic factors in two ways.

Foods that fight cancer by regulating DNA methylation: selenium (Brazil nuts), isothiocyanates (broccoli), catechins (green tea), resveratrol (grapes), and isoflavones (soy beans).

Foods that fight cancer by modulating histone modification: isoflavones (soy beans), curcumin (curry), catechins (green tea), resveratrol (grapes), isothiocyanates (broccoli), selenium (Brazil nuts), and allyl mercaptan (garlic).

Recently I had a stye in my lower right eye lid.

The most often and common treatment was to put warm teabags over the eye lid 3-5 times a day.

Green tea was often recommended, so I used the Lipton Green Tea bags with lemon.

They brought the stye to a head after a few days, and we removed the white stuff in the lid by pushing the sides of the white skin with our clean index fingers.

It works!:

Just warm compresses & tea bags. I also were given prescription eye drops that I used a few times a day. Hopefully you are okay in a few days.

These twins share the same genes, so why did one develop cancer and not the other?
....
More and more studies have found that diet is a key to controlling gene expression.

And then they go on to talk about diet but never mention if or how the diets of these twins varied.
