Special Report on Genetics and: Gout 23 Selected Articles From 1998 to December 6, 2007 Our purpose is to provide both general and focused information regarding the interplay between genetics, health, and the environment, including but not limited to nutrition. Genetics matter, but in most cases your lifestyle and environment matter even more. It’s often said, “Genetics loads the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger.” Genetics alone do not determine your future health and well-being. The Public needs the expertise of Professionals, and Professionals need the awareness and engagement of the Public. Our goal is to help both the the Public and Professionals by providing the relevant literature needed to form true partnerships together for better health. Although much remains to be learned, we invite you to look inside to see for yourself what genetics-related information is already available on gout. Be sure to check the indexes to look for items of special interest. Bridging the gap between nature and nurture.TM © Copyright 2007 Nutrigenetics Unlimited, Inc.
