And some people must hope that their assumptions about genetics are true. When you say that genetics plays a huge part, how do you define "huge"? Who came up with "huge"? Are you talking about what scientific studies have determined? And if it's not based on scientific studies, what else is there to base it on?

The CDC states that only about 4 to 6% of cancers are genetic. That's certainly not "huge".

I can't speak for others but I can tell you that my lifestyle, for the most part, is based on what has been proved scientifically.
