Heart Disease Gene Useless at Predicting Heart Disease, Research Reveals

By Mike Adams, January 20, 2009 | Key concepts: Heart disease, Genes and Gene expression

A new study conducted at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine reveals that the genetic trait long thought to be a predictor of heart disease is actually useless at predicting heart disease.

As Reuters reports, the doctor who led the study explains, "Once you already know the traditional risk factors, the additional information about the genetic variation doesn't help any. It doesn't improve your ability to predict."

It turns out that "traditional risk factors" -- such as smoking, blood pressure and measures of systemic inflammation -- are the only real predictors of heart disease.

It only makes sense, of course: Genes describe a blueprint of what you might become, but your actions in life determine how your genetic blueprint is actually expressed.

This free will view of patient responsibility is feared by all who push pharmaceuticals and conventional medical procedures, because they want to promote a worldview in which patients are born as victims, unable to control their destiny and subject to medical intervention from the very moment they're conceived.

Conventional medical researchers have fanatical beliefs about the gene theory of life and are largely unwilling to accept the idea that gene expression is caused by environmental factors that can be controlled by individuals.
