Fascinating-- thanks for sharing this.

So many new ideas are coming to light since I was in college for genetics/molecular bio in the early 2000s. First it was just genes, then proteomics, then epigenetics... it's an exciting time to be alive and to learn the principles behind why and how to maximize our health and well-being.

Yeah, I enjoy the revelations too! Finally we're starting to have some idea how things work, and some idea how much we still don't know yet.
