I have not looked at this in detail but it says

GENE EXPRESSION

GENE expression is the way you "wear" you genes.

Diet alters the way you wear your genes. This includes fat and mineral intake etc.

Omega threes and six intake can significantly alter gen expression. A trial in rats showed a doubling of expression of HER 2 in skeletal muscle in rats on a high omega six diet v a balanced omege three six intake. Some genes were changed by a factor of 10.

Expression is not the same as a defective gene or familial gene.

So from my reading you are not stuck with a particular profile, you can change it through diet and exercise. A mothers diet can bring about changes in genetic expression in off spring etc.

Diet has been recognised by a number of scientists as contributing to cancers, and does change genetic expression
