    Why Do Women Prefer Tall Men?

    If being tall equals better chances of getting a mate, why don’t our bodies grow? We have an abundance of calories we can give our bodies, yet they won’t make themselves grow. Why can’t our mind influence our looks? I want to grow taller I want to grow taller I want to grow taller.. Repeating...

    So Covid Vaccine Will Probably Contain Crispr Gene Editing

    I follow this lady on instagram, and she always posts extremely informative stuff that I never even considered before. One of her latest posts talks about cloning and how rampant it is in Hollywood and the elite society. Ever wonder why bill and Melinda gates suddenly look like completely...

    In Most Cases, Genes Have Less Than 5% Contribution To Disease Risk

    Yet another study (published by geneticists who have a vested interest to come up with results that say otherwise) according to which for the vast majority of diseases genes explain at most 5% of the cause. So, worded differently, more than 95% of the risk of developing a particular disease is...

    Down Syndrome (DS) Cognitive Handicap Is Due To (cellular) Stress, May Be Reversible

    If there is any disease that is currently considered incurable even in principles, it likely comes from the group of inherited/genetic disorders. Perhaps the most well-known one, due to rapidly rising incidence and thus publicity, is DS. Perhaps its most disabling aspect of DS is the cognitive...

    There Is No Gay Gene

    Very apt title, in my opinion at least. And then it comes to genetic explanations of diseases, I guess an even more apt addition would be "another one bites the dust". Recently, I posted about the complete and utter failure of the genetic hypothesis to explain depression. That indictment on the...

    GWAS Predicting Height Were Wrong; Same May Be True For Disease-prediction

    You have to appreciate the synchronicity (Synchronicity - Wikipedia) in nature. Just days after I posted the study on the role of diet in height, another study calls into question the validity of genetic factors in height...

    There Is No "Depression Gene", Any "evidence" So Far Has Been Errors / Fraud

    I did not think that I would see such a brave post appear on the front page of "Science" magazine, but here it is below. Apparently, common sense is finally starting to prevail in psychiatry and some doctors have had enough with the whole genetics fraud. They published a paper arguing that not...

    DNA Evidence Can Be Completely Fabricated

And even if the privacy aspect was well thought out and actually implemented, the very tests are next to useless with...

    Children Inherit Mitochondrial DNA From Their Fathers Too

    One of the unquestionable dogmas of genetics (up until) today is that all mitochondrial DNA of a child is inherited strictly from the mother. This firmly entrenched belief is taught as an immutable truth in medical schools and is used to justify extensive genealogical genomic tests down the...

    Shockingly High (68%) DNA Testing Error Sending Many Innocent To Prison

    A few months ago, I posted about the fiasco of DNA testing for disease. Basically, the false positive rate is at least 40% when it comes to testing for specific disease. Genetic Tests From Companies Do Not Match, 40% Of Results Are False Positives As a confirmation of the above disaster, now we...

    Dads Pass On More Than Genetics In Their Sperm

It has been known for years that dads in poorer health tend to beget more sickly children but the explanation had always been genetic - i.e. the dad...

    Environmental Quality, Not Genetics, Determines Testosterone Levels In Men

Genetically superior males, it goes, are destined to rise to the top and dominate their more submissive brethren, with the Hulks hoarding up all the women and natural resources along their way...

    The 'omnigenic' Theory Confirmed Again, Genomic Medicine Likely Useless

    Familial Breast Cancer Is Mainly Driven By Methylation, Not Genes

    I think this is a very important study because it shakes the foundations of one of the most solid cases cited by mainstream oncology in favor of cancer begin driven by genes.

    Every Gene Affects Every Trait, So Personalized/genomic Medicine Is Doomed

    As one of the article says, there has been a boom in the so-called genome-wide association studies over the last decade. However, these studies have resulted in no reliable leads for genetic causes of disease. A new study at Stanford suggests that the reason this is so is that in fact ALL genes...
