Thursday, December 2, 12:45 pm–Dr Barold presents . . . Nutrition Vs Genes, Who’s In Control? We know that our genes dictate whether we have blue eyes or brown eyes, blond hair or black hair, and whether our skin is light or dark. But how much control do genes really have over our health and well being? The medical establishment for decades has positioned our genes as the overwhelming factor determining our current and future health. But thanks in large part to the profound discoveries stemming from the Human Genome Project, we now know this is far from the whole story. Nutrition, environment, attitude and lifestyle, we have learned, weigh in as much or more than our genes when it comes to determining our future health.
