DNA Quote: Gwyneth Paltrow on “Evil Genes”

by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted January 11, 2008 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts

gwyneth paltrow emmaGwyneth Paltrow at a cancer conference in 2007:

I am challenging these evil genes by natural means. I am convinced that by eating biological foods it is possible to avoid tumours.

Rebuttal from Ursula Areans of the British Dietetic Association:

Diet cannot prevent cancer. It is reasonable that the risks of some of them can be reduced with certain diets, but some cancers, alas, show no link to dietary factors.

Oh, Gwennie, Gwennie, Gwennie.

A little thick in the ol’ noodle, No?

Perhaps she can find biological foods that will improve intelligence.

 
 

I can’t stand her or her biological foods. :P
