I’ve also heard that there are genetic tests to show how well people react to the different types of antidepressants out there. Does all of this effectiveness mean that we can start weeding out the medications that really work? Or that we can save money on meds altogether? I hope so!

Comment on Genes or Healthy Living: You Be the Judge by Cindy

I think that genes are sometimes given way too much credit for their impact on things like longevity and health. When people try to argue that their genes are responsible for their obesity and not things like activity and healthy eating, it makes me cringe. Unless there is a gene for uncontrollable laziness, I don’t buy it.

I would test my child for the “athletic gene” because I think a lot of kids spend time in sports or activities because that’s what they started doing as a child, and not what they are necessarily best at. On the same note, it’d be great to see the same test available for the “musical gene” or the “dancing gene” to see what else they might have an aptitude for.
