Genes Do Not Matter (again) - Individuality Is An Inevitable And Unpredictable Result Of Development
I posted quite a few studies showing that genes do not matter much when it comes to determining the "fate" of the organism, be that health, personality or intelligence. This new study went a step further and examined the development of genetically identical organisms under the same environmental...- haidut

Epigenetic Changes Can Be Passed Down For At Least 14 Generations
The phenomenon of inheritance is a solidly established fact in medicine. The fact that having relatives who had chronic disease increases one's own risk for developing those diseases is one of the main arguments of the pro-genetic crowd given as a reason to pursue genetic explanation of...- haidut

Rates Of Diabetes I And II Are Rapidly Rising In Young Children And Teens
I posted recently the rather sad finding that colon cancer rates have doubled in young people. Colon cancer is one of the cancers considered solidly an "old person" cancer and one with strong genetic component (like most cancers according to the FDA).

Breaking News: Colorectal Cancer Rates In Young People Have Doubled
I don't know which is sadder - this front page news reported today on CNN, or the fact that the pharma/medical press continues to call colorectal cancer largely a "genetic" phenomenon. Surely, there must be an evil gene that swept through the population in just 2 decades and targeted the young...- haidut

Glycine May Protect From Heart Disease In Women

Carriers of this gene variant had significantly increased glycine levels in the blood and lower levels of urea cycle metabolites, especially citrulline (which is a...- haidut

The Neo-Darwinian Theory Of Evolution Is Incomplete Without Lamarck

Genomic Mechanism For Beneficial Effects Of Progesterone On Pregnancy / Cancer

Genes And Nutrigenetics
So it seems that genes are not very important for this community, and that we can change them by taking demethylating products like procaine/novocaine, with higher metabolism and thanks to epigenetics. Methylation seems only related to gene expression, so I don't know what it has to do with...- Parsifal

Balding "Gene"
How can we be convinced that there is isn't a balding gene that is turned on at some point in a man's life as a result of accumulated stress?

Plant Diet Increases Risk Of Cancer And CVD Due To PUFA
This article is a little odd but I decided to post it anyways.

There Is No Universal (linguistic) Grammar Encoded In Genes

Methylation Levels Can Predict Breast Cancer Risk
