I found this interview on the Science Friday website with an audio recording. It shows that the 9P21 gene causes you to have a higher risk of a heart attack. The gene is present in a large part of our population. You can counter effects of this bad gene by eating multiple servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
In a new study, researchers from McMaster University found that in people with a certain gene that elevates heart attack risk, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help lower the risk. Dr. Sonia Anand explains the study, and what still needs to be learned about the gene.
Amazing to find another study which shows that eating fruits and vegetables is good for your heart!
