For many years it was considered a determining factor in all aspects: predisposition to diseases, character, preferences and even longevity.

well i know that longevity can be inherited but can be changed also. Environmental factors play a bigger role on how long you will live.
even if your predisposed of having diabetes, if you live responsibly then that disease will never happen to you.
