Quote: Ben @ October 26 2009, 9:43 PM BSTI know it's just your honest opinion Dolly, but I think it's a bit silly to pin all eating habits and their problems down to just one period of life. There's far too many causes that can trigger lifestyle changes.
But did you know, your DNA will be in as pristine condition as when you were conceived?
The DNA wouldn't be flowing as flowing-ly to my cock though would it, Ben?
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ October 26 2009, 9:45 PM BSTThere's alot of scientific evidence that I wouldn't call 'silly', but that's just my silly opinion.
lol, he tried SOOO hard, bless

Erm, no it won't Ben, that's kind of why we age and die. Deleterious changes in our DNA.

Oh, my text book must be lying to me. Or I understood it wrong...
EDIT:
It says "DNA is not subject to any 'turning over' and remains pristine for the life of the cell".
I'm confused now. I hadn't actually noticed the 'life of the cell' bit, but deleterious changes? I haven't covered that yet.

To think that you and I used to be neighbours. Tut tut.
You age because of the repair and reproduction mechanisms of your chromosomes (DNA) become inadequate over many cell divisions. The only places your DNA probably remains relatively unchanged from when you were conceived are in cells which don't replicate during your lifetime, e.g. brain cells and other central nervous system cells.
Thanks, Tim.
How do Dr's manage to remember so much and be able to pluck it from their brain so readily?

It was just a bit of neighbourly ribbing.
