Who do you think has a greater chance of developing cancer: someone whose parents died of cancer before the age of 50 years of age or someone whose adopted parents died of cancer before the age of 50 years of age?The gene cancer myth pervades despite the fact that multiple studies have dismantled the cancer genetic lottery hypothesis. A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine compared the influence of adoptive parents versus biological parents in terms of which had a greater role to play in the risk of premature death from cancer. The results of the study were revealing and interesting. The genes of biological parents who died of cancer before the age of fifty had NO influence on an adoptee's risk of developing cancer. However, adopted parents who died of cancer before the age of 50, passing on habits and lifestyle patterns rather than genes, increased the rate of mortality from cancer FIVEFOLD among those who were adopted.Cancer is truly a lifestyle onset disease that can be supported through dietary and lifestyle changes.
