We should defer to the leading experts conducting the most current studies, shouldn't we? What you're saying in this thread has been shown incorrect over and over through the most recent studies on epigenetics but you refuse to concede you could be wrong. Even when the top experts in the field are telling you that you are wrong.

Your example of knowing people who eat the same but have different blood pressures is a given based on our hard line DNA. Had you read the link I provided or watched mumbles video you would understand that you can alter it and alter it much more than ever thought. Take the time to read the links on epigenetics and watch the video, you'll learn something on an important subject. Not just for you but for your family as well.
Let's say I gave you a list of 100 people, all aged 40, with details on each regarding their diet, exercise, and stress level.

Then I ask you to mark next to each of them "High", "Marginal", or "Normal" regarding their blood pressure.

How many of those 100 do you think you'd get right?
