    Thanks so much for posting this! I have so much family history on some of these diseases that sometimes it is so discouraging and I feel like I'm at risk for everything (even the ones I know aren't likely... like my dad had lung cancer but he also smoked for decades... well, I have never smoked and thankfully was not around him when he smoked either since he didn't smoke in the house!.)

    Anyway... took the questionnaires and was encouraged to see how much the healthy habits I already have count towards decreasing risk... and that of course losing weight will help even more. :)

    So I did mine answering how I eat and stay active now and it said MUCH BELOW AVERAGE:happy: for Diabeties. Then did it from how I used to eat and not workout and it said ABOVE AVERGE:indifferent: for Diabeties. Amazing how much whole grains and walking 3x a week can help. not have to give yourself a shot everyday

    I love how at the end of the quiz you can click on the options on what you can do to lower the risk and it shows how much the bar goes down!

    I checked for Diabetes since my dad has it pretty severely...much below average.
    I also checked for heart disease since my mom died of a heart attack and my dad has had open heart surgery...very much below average.

    Whew!
