***Same would apply to DH.  His father was born and raised in Italy.  You 
can't get a more different life style than how DH was raised in a household 
ruled by McPhail from Nova Scotia.  His dad was sedentary, a real couch 
potato. Most of his jobs were sedentary (sitting, working in the shoe 
factories in Brockton).  DH is a double Type A and always moving, doing, and 
if work doesn't take enough energy he is lifting weights.  His father's diet 
consisted of lots of salt, fatty beef and homemade chicken broth with lots 
of fat and salt.  DH never eats beef, uses no salt, and my chicken broth has 
herbs and the fat skimmed.  Yet both got colon cancer.
