People write things without being sensitive to all populations and people read things by being over-sensitive because they have been personally affected by a certain topic. My younger sister has Type-1 diabetes and my father has Type-2. I have another sister who has rheumatoid arthritis, another autoimmune disorder, and I have had my own struggles with an autoimmune disorder. Obviously, there is a genetic component in our family. What I got from the article regarding "lifestyle choice and nutrition choices" is that regardless of our genetic predisposition, we have to consider the possibility that our own personal choices regarding nutrition could affect our DNA, thus affecting the genes we pass on to our children. The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson is a good book that discusses this possibility. People that have Type-1 diabetes had no control in preventing its onset so I can understand the sensitivity toward the stigma that they have Diabetes because of poor nutritional habits. They had no choice in the matter. Writing articles and challenging people to take control of their nutrition, and theorizing that we do have control over the "health" of our genes, however, is not out-of-bounds and needs to be taken from this perspective.Sloan Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310053369322336181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-79389255837475595512011-02-18T13:36:12.790-08:002011-02-18T13:36:12.790-08:00Boobs... brain.

Hoping that someone, somewhere that didn't "get" it -> will eventually "get" it...even just a little bit. <br /><br />Loved the Halle Barre bit btw! How are you? I was just thinking of you yesterday. xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-44014209951520110642011-02-17T23:32:07.456-08:002011-02-17T23:32:07.456-08:00If this was facebook, I would hit "like"...If this was facebook, I would hit "like"Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490374648906561675noreply@blogger.com
