Case closed. No need to explore the causes any further. Definitely impossible that there may be a genetic aspect to this.

And German Americans tend to be heavy, and we Irish tend to binge drink; what's your point? Social circumstances turn a genetic component nto an epidemic of death, disease and despair.

Those Japanese people who die of overwork at their desks, I guess they just have poor cardiovascular generics huh?

It's you who are trying to close the case with your zero-sum generic explanation.
