DNA Controls Us In How We Act But We Control Our Environment; What We Eat and Drink That Also Controls Us

 Nadene Goldfoot                                      


There's a reason why people wanted the children of kings to reign over them, or why kings wanted to create dynasties to rule over people.  They had the makeup to do it. It's because they had the desire to do it.   Why?  It's what they inherited;  their DNA, only at the time people had no scientific skills and knew nothing about inherited DNA.  Your thyroid gland is an inheritable factor.  It controls your energy level and that seems to boost your thoughts.  Of course, Dynasties of kings  had their problems.  After introducing a lot of DNA from different wives each generation, the gene pool had more and more kinds of DNA, and every generation had different problems to solve, so the king often turned out to be their worst nightmare.  But the Egyptians had dynasties of rulers, and so did all the other countries as well except the USA, of course and that's because it's so new that they knew what they didn't want for starters.  

Everything about each of us came to us through DNA, possibly even our thoughts.  With that, hormones play the most important part.  We have an endocrine system making our body work correctly.  Your thyroid is an important endocrine gland that makes and releases certain hormones. Your thyroid's main job is to control your metabolism — how your body uses energy. Sometimes, your thyroid doesn’t work properly. These conditions are common and treatable.

Your thyroid's main job is to control the speed of your metabolism (metabolic rate), which is the process of how your body transforms the food you consume into energy.  All of the cells in your body need energy to function.  When your thyroid isn't working properly, it can impact your entire body.  

There's the catch, the food you consume.  Where you live controls the food available to you. That in turn affects your thyroid.  

You can become hypothyroid or its opposite, hyperthyroid.  Your ideas that enter your mind are affected by your energy.  I notice that at my age of 89. 


When I have no energy-I don't think about washing the kitchen floor with my Swiffer sweeper, but let a little energy occur, and that's what I not only think about but occasionally even do!  I just found out I'm mildly hyperthyroid.  When I was a little girl, I was told I had a sluggish thyroid (hypothyroid).  I had an aunt who had a goiter-sign of hyperthyroidism.  

So all over the world, people are eating food from  their own district first.  Whether it was during the hunting era it was certain animals;  or during the gathering of food such as grains, etc, becoming farmers, it was seasonal crops.  Some had rice, others had wheat or barley.  Each type of food gives us certain important vitamins and minerals we need.  

I knew a boxer who had a steak dinner before boxing matches because it gave him more energy than veggies alone.  Of course, what you put your faith in, like steak, also boosts your energy level as well.  The two factors are unbeatable.  Maybe that's why football players were seen praying before a game.  They put their faith in praying to boost their chances of winning and that will do it.  They need the mental as well as the physical boosts.  Again, probably some people inherit DNA causing things like that to happen.  

Then of course, it was what we drank as well, and that takes a look at our different water supplies.  It can also depend on alcohol products people drank.  In some societies, they didn't dare drink water; only beer and wine as the water was so polluted. The beer that people used to drink was known as “small beer”. The alcohol by volume percentage of small beer was typically less than 2.8%, and as it had such a low alcohol content, it didn’t actually make people intoxicated. Some historians have suggested that people in the Middle Ages drank beer instead of water because water wasn’t seen as safe to drink - however, other historians argue that water was both free and readily accessible, since most towns and villages were built around a water source, and therefore was certainly drunk by most people. Sometimes water might be mixed with wine or honey to improve the flavour, and people were also able to tell the difference between a clean water source and one which might have been contaminated, so the idea of water being avoided out of a fear of it being unclean or unsafe to drink is actually a myth. But drinking it all your life?  2.8% alochol?     Almost half of the tap water in the US is contaminated with chemicals known as “forever chemicals,” according to a new study from the US Geological Survey.

The number of people drinking contaminated water may be even higher than what the study found, however, because the researchers weren’t able to test for all of these per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, or PFAS, chemicals that are considered dangerous to human health. There are more than 12,000 types of PFAS, according to the National Institutes of Health, but this study looked at only 32 of the compounds.

Hormones we inherit have a huge job:  Hormones are chemicals that coordinate different functions in your body by carrying messages through your blood to your organs, skin, muscles and other tissues. These signals tell your body what to do and when to do it.  Our endocrine system has the Hypothalamus, Pituitary gland, Thyroid, Parathyroid glands, Adrenal glands, Pineal gland, Pancreas,  and the sex glands; the Ovaries and Testes. 

          Thank goodness Moses said we can't eat horses;  According to kashrut, Jewish dietary law, it is forbidden to consume the flesh of terrestrial mammals that do not chew their cud and have cloven hooves, which includes dogs. Anything that "chews the cud" and has a completely split hoof is ritually clean, but those animals that only chew the cud or only have cloven hooves are unclean.   

NO   The camel, for chewing the cud without its hooves being divided.     NO        NO   The pig, for having cloven hooves without chewing the cud. 

NO   to the milk of the animals that are not allowed. 

Chickens are kosher;  usually every Friday Night's main dinner course.  

                               I'm safe in a kosher neighborhood,  I'm a swan. 
                                Oh oh, I'm a turkey, this is not my month! 
3 signs are given to kosher birds: the presence of a crop, an extra finger, and a gizzard that can be peeled. The bird must also not be a bird of prey.   What is the crop? The crop (also known as the ingluvies) is a muscular pouch located on the front of a bird's neck, above the top of the chest or sternum. It is an enlargement of the esophagus and serves as a storage place for food.                              

Moses gave his followers a list of foods his people could eat and not eat.  Interestingly, the meat followed the science knowledge of animal families, a type of  phylum of animal development.  The list gave people only a small proportion of living creatures to be eaten;  no animals like the camel-and they lived in camel territory or even milk from a camel;  they could not eat blood or even eat meat with a milk product (no hamburgers and milk shakes), no shellfish, fish had to have fins and scales;  fruit off a young tree only a year old; and people were not given reasons for these restrictions, but they followed these dietary laws anyway.  Possibly it has given the people benefits in the long run.  For one, it was a way of identification of people.                                     

We do have  antigens.  Antigens can be proteinspeptides (amino acid chains), polysaccharides (chains of simple sugars), lipids, or nucleic acids. Antigens exist on normal cells, cancer cells, parasitesvirusesfungi, and bacteria.  Vaccines are examples of antigens in an immunogenic form, which are intentionally administered to a recipient to induce the memory function of the adaptive immune system towards antigens of the pathogen invading that recipient. The vaccine for seasonal influenza is a common example. The presence of antigens in the body may trigger an immune response. Antigen can originate either from within the body ("self-protein" or "self antigens") or from the external environment ("non-self").  Certain foods may be carriers of antigens, then.   Gosh, it's a miracle homo sapiens have survived with all the things dependent on being healthy.
