Rewrite The Future With An Alkaline Lifestyle and Diet

A recent study suggests that the same minerals and vitamins in spinach that perform instant wonders for Popeye's biceps might pack longer-lasting effects, such as dictating the hair color and health of future generations.

Last November, a study led by David Martin, an oncologist at the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute in California, tested whether a mouse's diet alone can affect its descendants.

The researchers fed meals high in minerals and vitamins--such as B12, which fortifies leafy greens--to pregnant mice that have a gene that makes their fur blond and also increases the likelihood that they will grow obese and develop diabetes and cancer. On the new diet, the mice produced brown-haired offspring that were also less vulnerable to disease. Even when those mice were denied the supplements, their offspring retained the improved health and still grew dark fur coats.

Martin's study isn't the first to note this type of generation-spanning phenomenon. In 2002, Swedish researchers dug through century-old records and determined that a man's diet at the onset of puberty affected his grandson's vulnerability to diabetes. The study tracked 303 men, and those with an abundant supply of food were four times as likely to have grandchildren die of diabetes. Though far from exhaustive, the study indicates that genes are more susceptible to outside forces than has been commonly believed.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, "your genes are made up of intelligent anatomical elements from your Mother and Father going back over 100 years. You are the sum total of many generations. What you eat, what you drink and what you think are influenced by your progenitors. If you have a predisposition or risk for diabetes, cancer or even depression because of genealogy then change that risk with an alkaline lifestyle and diet that can rewrite past history and your genes. You do not have to die from diabetes or cancer or be depressed because of the past when you can rewrite the future with an alkaline lifestyle diet. It is as if you have your own magic eraser that eliminates past negative genetic traits and past acidic lifestyle and dietary choices and set the stage for a new long and healthy future."
