"You know that hydrogenated fats (as food) do not occur in nature. Our bodies 
don't know what to do with them and so some think they bounce off the artery 
walls making scars and pits and explain our ever increasing problems with 
stroke and heart attack." Well established.
 
"Same gripe with homogenized milk ... just t'ain't natural!"
 
I'm no scientist, nor a fan of homogenization, but I still wonder about this 
theory. Everyone both for and against seems so biased.  This gal seems 
credible; http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/homogenization.html.  
However, you never know until you find out who is paying her salary.
 
"Seems to me that genetic predisposition is both knowable and  preventable. I 
think that much of what is called genetic  predisposition is because of 
historical family habits in eating,  exercising, attitudes, and environmental 
conditions in the places  lived."
 
I've always kind of suspected this.  If genetic material can be damaged, and 
if a family's bad habits(overexposure to the sun, poor diet, sedentary 
lifestyle) could cause that damage then the resulting physical problems would 
appear to be genetic predisposition.  Same goes for emotional/mental 
ills....maybe..
