Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Colleagues, In the current issue of Time magazine, there's a fascinating cover story on epigenetics entitled " Why Genes Aren't Destiny " : http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1951968,00.html The take-away message is that the choices we make and stressors we experience can influence our genetic expression as well as those of our children. While the body of research is relatively young, certain nutritional factors have been shown to have powerful effects. Going forward it will be interesting to see what is revealed about exercise and other environmental factors. At one point the article quotes science author Shenk: the epigenetics paradigm " reveals how bankrupt the phrase 'nature versus nurture' really is. " It seems that we should be thinking in terms of nature via nurture. Regards, Plisk Excelsior Sports •Shelton CT www.excelsiorsports.com Prepare To Be A Champion!
