he fact that you can find 3 to 5 people in your lineage that died of that does point to it being inherited
It does though? like it doesn’t have to be 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt genetic like say type 1 diabetes, and with everything else it most likely is
are demonstrated to have a heredity component
I am of the believe that most health issues are genetic, be it mutation or hereditary. I haven’t looked into it much but from experience ppl tend to believe most diabetes are caused by being overweight(or general life style) and that’s no the case in my experience. I feel believing its life style choices hurts ppl more in the long run than it helps(the number of arguments i got with non-diabetes ppl about my own diabetes for example)
But also like what does this have to do with anything?
Heart disease runs in families. Nope.
the OG commenter said it doesn’t runs in families and we both agree it can, why does it matter whether it runs specifically in my family or not. People with health issues know about their own medical history, when someone tells you heart disease run in the family, take them at their word(plus they probably talked to doctors and what not)
It only ‘matters’ to the extent that OP claimed it doesn’t run in families, and you seemed to be claiming it does ‘because’ you had 3 -5 relatives that died from it. All I’m saying it’s that anecdotal evidence doesn’t refute an assertion like that.
If you’d said ‘it does run in families and here is a statistically significant sampling across variable x, y and z’ i wouldn’t be arguing, I’d likely be reading an article about it. But it’s worth pointing out when people use unscientific reasoning in a forum where other people might be influenced by an argument if no one calls out the fault in logic.
