Really, I’m not what I eat.

There’s an advert on American television for a specific cholestrol-reducing medication where they say you don’t always get your cholesterol problem from what you eat. Yes, well, that’s how it is with me. I guess I could say I didn’t get it from doughnuts, I got it from Daddy. I didn’t get it from M&Ms, I got it from Mom.

Genetics is an interesting thing. Because of genetics, I have blue eyes, a red undertone to my hair, my mother’s features, and a rather dreaded combination of health issues that have carried down through both sides of the family.

As we go through this blogging process, I’ll talk about those, what they mean to me, how everything in the environment around us contibutes positively and negatively to our genetic predispositions, and how I am dealing with mine.

Thanks for reading, and maybe we can learn a few things together, eh?
