I think that no matter how a person is wired, it is still his environment and up-bringing plus opportunities or lack of that determine who he is and what he does with his life. The same goes for his good health or lack of. Proper nutrition and life-style is beneficial but if you don't have access to the good things in life then your chances of succumbing to genetic pitfalls increase.
