I have a couple of hundred more articles if you like:
Impact of genetic testing on complex diseases.

Hmmmmm . . . Let me digest this post.

You are saying that maybe genetics play a part in diseases but maybe they don't. But if you live a healthy lifestyle, genetics don't matter all that much. But if you disregard healthful living, your genetic makeup takes over, and you intimate that a person is probably doomed, eh?

And the best yet -- genes can be turned off and on. Wow! I'd better tell my doctor because I'm sure he doesn't know this!

You should really give credit to Dr (?) Merkola the eminent medical huckster, otherwise you are skating very close to plagiarism.
