I’ve heard that mesothemiola though caused by asbestos, pretty much only occurs in smokers. Meanwhile my step-mom, her sister, father, mother and son have all had cancer and non were smokers.
Are some people pretty much immune to cancer unless they are exposed to severe carcinogens?

When I was younger I was really heavy and seemed to have a lot of body fat up until I was about 12. We are an incredibly healthy family, no junk food of any kind, no red meat, soy milk, the whole deal. But I was still fat. I then lost most of that weight without doing much to change except exercising the tiniest bit more. My mom is skinnier than me now but said when she was 12-14 she was incredibly large. I am not fat now, but I am still somewhat larger than my mom who is a size 4..I am a 6.
Is this genetics?

This question is directed to how genetics effect belief or the amount of belief one has. Not what a person believes in. Is belief only socially engineered or does it have a core anchor that is defined by the genetic makeup that we are given at birth. I would like to know if there is specific research that backups any theory.
To define the question once further:
Is the degree to how much “belief” a human has genetic?
or
Is belief defined by our surroundings and social engineering?

I have friends who put on size easily. I, on the other hand, have always been skinny. I’ve noticed that I’ve been gaining some weight as of recently. I wanted to know if I can build muscle mass just like any other person that goes to the gym or does genetics pretty much say yes or no to more muscles?
