The more we learn about genes the more obvious it becomes that nutrition is the key to health, including bone health. A gene regulatory protein called Maf has now been identified which is needed in order to change bone stem cells into the important bone-building carpenters called osteoblasts. Too many free radicals, or the use of the diabetes drugs...

Understanding adverse gene programming in the womb (epigenetic changes) is a key part of the new frontier of science. Researchers have now proven that a low protein diet during pregnancy (malnutrition) induces a malfunction setting in a key gene known as Hnf4a, in turn leading to significantly increased risk for type 2 diabetes later in life.

A new study shows that teenagers in high stress situations (family, peers, school) can elevate the inflammatory marker CRP (C reactive protein) for several years following the stress.
