Can someone change a genetic trait by force of will? For example, I  
inherited high cholesterol. My doctor's exact words were "if you ate a  
can of lard at every meal you couldn't have numbers this high." In that  
case, no matter how well I take care of myself, cholesterol will always  
be a problem. Medication can help control it. But I have to take that  
medicine for the rest of my life. The condition doesn't change.

I have always assumed that all genetic traits are immutable. Things  
like alcholism, nicotene addiction, and homosexuality are not  
immutable. They are not permanent conditions. A person can change.  
Therefore they are not genetic traits.

But I have no scientific proof of my assumption. Is it true that  
genetic traits don't change?
