There is one company, however, that does things differently - and you'll never see them advertised. They own the patents for the gene sequences they test for. Specifically, it is "the &lt;EM&gt;first and only IL1 gene&lt;/EM&gt; test to identify an individual’s predisposition for over-expression of inflammation and increased risk for CVD and acute cardiac events."&amp;nbsp; It determines your genetic predisposition to heart disease.&amp;nbsp; 40% of caucasians will generally test positive for this.&amp;nbsp; This is hard science, hard data - now being integrated in to some of the largest long-term heart studies in the world.&amp;nbsp; In addition, the good news is that - if you do test positive - in addition to lifestyle changes, etc., they partnered with a natural vitamin/mineral supplement company that developed an all-natural supplement&amp;nbsp;formula that blocks the expression of that gene/inflammation - if you test positive for it. Very significant science - just getting into publication in the medical journals.&amp;nbsp; Interleukin Genetics and the test is called Gensona. Check it out, talk with the founders of the company or the research staff, review the publications. Ground-breaking science.

&lt;P&gt;So too we see that PT Barnum was correct: "There is a sucker born every minute", and such 'gene nutritional testing' as mentioned in this illuminating article from Dr. Mercola, once again verifies a shortage of common sense toward nutritional wholesomensss, simplicity, regular low impact exercise, happiness and well being.&lt;/P&gt;
