I disagree, you can offset the effects of many genetics thru diet.

I would often hear oh yea everybody on that side of the family has heart problems, they died young.

The genetics of our parents unfortunately did not enjoy the benefits of today's medical miracles, and some of us will live long enough to enjoy the benefits of tomorrows medical break through.

It is a fact that vegetarians live on average up to 10 years longer and vegans up to 15 years.

ex. atherosclerosis can be reversed as well as type II diabetes with diet.
