This study provides sound evidence the environment in which we live affects our existence far more acutely than genes that have no intelligence whatsoever.

In fact, we give up a great deal of our personal power and responsibility when we conclude, for example, since all of our relatives who were overweight died from catastrophic health issues like heart attacks, cancer and strokes, we will too.

"It’s all in the genes," they say ...

With the completion of the human genome project the vast majority of scientists believe that genetics hold the key to our future health. But our genes are merely dumb storage facilities that do very little to influence our health. The reality is that the EXPRESSION of our genes is the most important influence and their expression is altered by our emotional influences. This study is a powerful confirmation of this concept. The expression can be positive as in this study or, as is far more common in disease, quite negative.

Similar to the example I gave above, the ultimate manifestation of this process is the woman who believes she will die from breast cancer because "her relatives did" and eventually is able to manifest her intention through emotional influence on the expression of her genetic makeup.

Experts like molecular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton have been preaching this powerful message for quite a while.
