abstract: Workers exposed and common people. Workers' health is influenced by genes. It is easy to feel as if a lot of our health is beyond our control. After all, we can't just change our genes or re-sequence our DNA. However, new research is revealing that we might be able to control the expression of our genes. So even if you have a gene that predisposes you to a certain disease there are things you can do to either silence or amplify the expression of that gene. Traka et al found that workers who have a specific gene that predisposes them to prostate cancer were able to suppress the expression of this gene substantially by eating the equivalent of just one portion of broccoli per week.
