I'm at risk based on age and family history. What about you?

[Carole Pagan]

Even though I'm over 50, my risk is low. The test doesn't begin to address the true risks, like packaged foods and pop, and not eating enough nutrients. But yes, I have no family history and I stay active, and I do eat mostly healthy. Hey, I'm not a saint! Sheesh... ;-)

Hmm interesting... but those tests don't tell everything... I am at risk based on age but I eat healthier if I compare myself to others. . My blood tests are good.

I'm not at risk. I eat right, keep sugars low, exercise regularly, don't have family history, use Superfood supplements and avoid high fructose corn syrup at all costs.
