I agree with that statement (below), but my point is that there are easy ways to protect yourself
maximally (though diet, making your body less sensitive and less likely to react in a dangerous
way), regardless of what your genetic makeup is, at least according to the science that has been
done recently (especially regarding free radical damage in its various forms). However, the nonsense
in the mainstream media, for example, the "saturated fat is bad" message, needs to be countered,
because it is at odds with the newest evidence (they are talking about old flawed studies, that, for
example, classified lard as "saturated fat," even though it is 60% or more unsaturated).

"There are many factors involved and I do see a one dimensional look at nutrition here almost to the
exclusion of everything else. I don't believe in a one size fits all view. If I were in a genetics
ng I would push for nutrition and in PE etc.
Nutrition gets a bad wrap in terms of Science. It is virtuosly impossible to study without
personalities pushing something, Pauling and vitamine C etc but that impression is out there and
that was the only point I was trying to make. I made it and so I will back off now."
