TED Talk Tuesday: Dean Ornish says your genes are not your fate

I like this talk because when so much in life feels beyond my control, it's nice to feel like there are a few things I can control. Also amusing to me are the studies showing that alcohol in moderation actually produces sundry health benefits, since I was always taught that alcohol is one of the roots of evil, maybe even the long tap root that reaches down into the groundwaters of depravity. Suck it, WoW! For the uninitiated, WoW in this instance is referring to the Word of Wisdom, not World of Warcraft. I like the "Additional Information" tab, where we learn that prophets have told us that the forbidden "hot drinks" means "tea and coffee" (also shown to be good for you in moderation) because I guess the Lord couldn't just tell us that himself.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
