[AT] Welding Advice

[Stephen Offiler]

There is no question that genetics play a STRONG role. But the most
important thing, that no one seems to understand, is that genetics are a
loaded gun and your lifestyle (nutrition, smoking and drinking habits,
exercise habits etc) plus your environment (pollution, etc) are what pull
the trigger.

People think "bad genes" mean the outcome is inevitable.  That is false.
It does mean that you have to fight harder,  do more things right, and try
to avoid touching that trigger.
