Quite a few bits of wisdom for sniffing out half truths. My Dad's was,

believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see. I joined a

nutrigenomics list for a short time. It was the academics doing the DNA to

diet work on it. All I saw was carbs, carbs and more carbs for diet. Can

imagine the misinformation, disinformation to fats. IMO, deficiences and

foods to correct those deficiencies, even if it doesn't fit the food

pyramid, would be the best use of DNA diet, not treating a possible result.

Fear factor inducement to not get that disease rather than working toward

wellness factor. Negative psychology is not the best foot to start off from.
