Thank you for the post, however there are two errors that need to be corrected. The statement "the ones that are passed on genetically. There’s not much that can be done about these risks" is incorrect. Genes have 50% power, the other 50% is with conditions surrounding the genes. Genes do not unravel spontaneously, they are like the seeds, they need certain conditions fulfilled before they come to life. The power to change conditions, as you describe in this post, is in our hands.

The second thing that needs to be corrected is the danger of sun. Sun light is vitamin D. We need this vitamin for growth and protection. Suggestion of avoiding the sun totally is irresponsible. We need sunlight. Just don't over do it for tanning purposes.

Other than these two points, it's a great article.
