Just for Cottontimer: Nova’s only slightly cheesy video on Epigenetics (click on your resolution under “Watch this Segment”) and how what we do alters our personal health prospects.
This was a mighty cool segment. Nova is a great program. Perhaps Grandma and Pop were righter than I thought. Although It really didn’t do them any good eh?
Yeah, well they left out the part talking about eating healthy fruit and veg grown in toxic waste dumps, didn’t they?
Honestly, I’m all about bowing to the alter of organic/healthy veggie and lifestyle, but the truth is that so many things are carcinogenic and yet the human race in first-world countries is living longer than it ever has before.
While eating well is certainly important, not smoking, blah blah blah, we must at some point concede that the human body can take vast amounts of twinkies before it gives up the ghost.

You reminded me that I’ve run out of Twinkies….
