Yes, that would be extremely interesting study. I haven’t been able to access those sites because I don’t belong to an institution.
I have heard that pineapple will make a difference.
There are many “environmental” effects (which includes diet, visual stimulation, air quality etc) that seem to affect heritage and therefore DNA. it’s virtually impossible to guaranteed a causality relationship due to the generational gap (15-60 years between generations) NOT TO MENTION the ethical implications of forced husbandry on humans… BUT there are a few historical documents and traditions spanning hundreds and ever thousands of years that can be inferred to affect DNA… Jews have had dietetic effects for about 3,000 years. studies have determined that Jews have resistance to certain diseases … it’s not a very long leap to posit the causal relation of health and diet… especially since “Limeys” nickname has scientifically proven accurate (Vitamin C prevents scurvy) so DNA things effecting longer problems feels correct even if not proven 100% …
again the Bible records how a shepard had affected his “pay” by showing reed patterns to the sheep while they were “getting busy”… (the pattern may not have been whole thing, since material used might have been different also) but one year he got paid with “perfect” (unblemished) coated sheep, and with different pattern used the next year was again paid the overwelming majority of sheep, then displaying different markings. about 50 years ago, a 4-H student repeated the experience (this time in one year not two different years) and got same coat results as Bible proving not only a causal effect but also the Bible is EITHER a true historical record… OR the Bible had made a 2500 year prophetic guess (only crazy “anti-God” people will try for the latter)
Cite please?
If you think that’s evidence, I doubt I can have a useful conversation with you.
However, I can’t resist pointing out:
Secondarily: if you don’t have a cite for that and cite of replications of the study, nothing whatsoever is proven.
But primarily: proving the accuracy of one thing in the Bible does not in any way prove the accuracy of anything else in the Bible. There are certainly statements in any given form and translation of the Bible that are true. That doesn’t mean that any other statement is also true, any other book is non-apocryphal, or any other bit of translation is accurate.
No, insufficient Vitamin C causes Scurvy.
Hello Boys & girls…
Now that i have my sweater and Slippers
can you boys and girls spell “pendantic trolls”
yes, Good for you… those meanies are just pendantic trolls
Given your understanding of sheep genetics your understanding of human medical conditions was very much in question.
Moerating:
Accusations of trolling are not allowed in IMHO.
I honestly don’t know if he is referring to me or some of the other posters, but I will say this. Many of the sarcastic responses did motivate me to search more on the subject. I find it more fascinating now than I did when I opened the thread.
Is this related to Five Guys Named Moe?
Hey, no arguing moderation in the thread!!
jk, you made me laugh.
Perhaps you could quote the parts of the article that are relevant and explain how they are related to the topic.
Fair enough but before I do that will you tell me what topic you are expecting me to address. I have been through this at least a 1/2 dozen times or more.
They compared proteins across 33 tissue types, including the heart, intestine, cervix, ovaries and placenta, and found that testes and brains share 13,442 proteins in common. This is corroborated by gene expression studies showing these two distantly positioned organs share the highest number of genes among all the organs in the body.
Taking a closer look at the shared proteins most highly expressed in these tissues, Matos and colleagues found they’re mostly involved in tissue development and cell communication. These shared proteins make sense when you consider how unexpectedly similar the two tissues are in many ways, the team explains.
It is best to read the whole article but I guess this is the main part I am trying to establish.
It’s your topic, why on earth would I tell you what I’m expecting? You’re the one that posted a random link, it’s on you to tell me what it’s about.
And yet you keep doing it.
Also, that’s not quoting and explaining how an article relates to your topic. That’s just stealing the author’s content and reposting it as if it’s yours.

The only claim I wanted to establish was the connection of the brain to the testes. If that was accepted, I wanted to move on to potential places in the reproduction cycle where communication may have taken place between the brain and the semen using the neuro chemicals. I implied no expertise there but simply contributed some obvious points of possible communication. If the communication theory was accepted at least as plausible then my final destination would have been on how our various behaviors might be expressed in our neuro chemical cocktail mix.
So, you once again ignored all the folks who actually know anything about this subject, refused to admit you were wrong and kept clinging to your vastly wrong idea?
Not exactly, I would like them to be specific about where I am going wrong. If they are specific and I can support my theories I have no reason to concede and I would simply ask that only those who would like to discuss it be free to do so without harassment. The Dope is not the final say on every topic every time. Especially in MHB and a theoretical discussion.
