If a person has inherited genetic coding that is related to heart disease, what effect might dietary practices have on this person's health?
a. They will have no effect because development of the disease has been pre-determined.
b. They will have differing effects dependent upon the type of genetic messages.
c. They can completely reverse the genetic coding that has been inherited.
d. They will work the same way for everyone who has heart disease.
e. They will alter the genetic coding and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Question 2
When considering the effect of genetics and nutrition on chronic disease development in individuals:

b. sound nutrition practices have the greatest influence on prevention of all chronic diseases.
c. our genetic inheritance determines the influence nutrition will have on disease prevention.
d. scientists have recently been able to identify all the genetic connections to chronic disease.
e. genetic inheritance has the greatest influence on risk of all chronic diseases.
