Its all about chemicals.
Really.
Epigenetics.
Each nutrient put in the body, each interaction that the body has with the external environment
each experience
can manifest itself through biochemical changes
that ultimately dictate gene expression.
It shouldn't be that surprising.
Why would we not think we are products of our environment?
We are what we eat.
Be careful who you love.
Stress kills.
Don't sniff that glue, fly boy.
Each exposure triggers a chemical change in the body or brain
that mobilizes a methyl group of molecules.
This group attaches to the control segment of your gene sequence
either activating or silencing the gene.
Either way changing the course of your genetic activity.
We are malleable.
Ask the protester now in front of Wall Street.
He was in a dead end job six months ago.
With panic attacks.
Overweight.
High blood pressure.
Lost his job.
Joined the protest.
Found a woman.
Shared a sleeping bag.
Started exercising. :-).
New chemicals.
Free organic food.
For the first time in his life, felt that he was accomplishing something.
Where he ought to be.
Do you think gene sequences have been altered for him?
Want to check his blood pressure to find out?
