Just curious, SK – is your brother an identical or fraternal twin? In any event, I completely agree with you. I can’t tell whether people are more interested in patting themselves on the back for their good habits or in condemning those who they believe have bad habits. (And who knows which is which? My mother traded in butter for margarine in the 70s because it was supposed to be a healthier alternative, and it’s full of trans fats.)

We’re fraternal twins. I have the hereditary things that my parents had. Hypertension, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol (all of them very well controlled with low doses of drugs, and a reasonably good diet). He doesn’t have any of those things. Just a shitload of other things that aren’t very hereditary.[/quote]
Okay, now I’m really curious about the reason for njtosd’s asking this question. NJ, have you heard that there is an increased risk for melanoma among sets of twins?
