Description

È convinzione comune che il nostro destino genetico sia fissato una volta per tutte al momento del concepimento. Dovremo ricrederci! Il dottor Moalem, che ha scalato le classifiche del “New York Times”, in questo libro illuminante e pionieristico ci spiega che il genoma umano è molto più mutevole, e più sorprendente, di quanto si sia mai immaginato. Infatti i geni che costituiscono il nostro Dna sono come migliaia di piccoli interruttori, che si accendono o si spengono in risposta a ciò che facciamo, vediamo, sentiamo, mangiamo. Questo potrà fare la differenza tra cancro, Alzheimer, obesità o, al contrario, longevità, salute e addirittura felicità.L’autore, facendo riferimento alle ricerche scientifiche più all’avanguardia e agli studi su suoi pazienti affetti da rare anomalie, mostra come i più recenti progressi nel campo della genetica umana stiano trasformando la conoscenza che abbiamo fin qui maturato sul mondo e su noi stessi, e spiega come le implicazioni di tali scoperte possono migliorare la salute e il benessere nostro e quello dei nostri figli e nipoti.
