Fascinating information below!! If you Google, you'll find lots of great information on this topic.

Epigenetics is changing the way we eat and live.

Epigenetics is a new area of biology that is re-writing the text books. It is the study of how our environment (food, thought, belief, and physical environment) affect which genes (DNA) are turned ON/OFF. Turning the wrong genes ON/OFF can cause illnesses like cancer, obesity, etc.

    Yes, Important

    Found this article a real source of optimism.

    And am now intrigued enough to read The Biology of Belief by Lipton.

    Has anyone read it?

    Thanks,
