Though it it from WebMd, a fairly large health article site, this article uses a source from Proceedings of the National Academy of sciences. It cites that human blood cells immediately began producing hydrogen sulfide after receiving garlic. Hydrogen sulfide has been known to relax blood vessels and increase vital blood flow.

We Are What We Eat

This is an article from The Economist back in 2003. I like that it specifically addresses the question of heredity vs. diet, however I wish there was more links to the sources. I found a really great looking article here (http://journals.lww.com/amjmedsci/Citation/1958/03000/Relative_Significance_of_Heredity,_Diet_and.3.aspx) from the The American Journal of Medical Sciences but without subscribing to the journal or purchasing the article, I could not access the entire thing.

This article focuses on heart disease and how heavily certain things such as diet or hereditary factors influence the risk of getting heart disease

Cardiovascular disease prevention and lifestyle interventions: effectiveness and efficacy.

http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?hid=8&sid=b1c7cb97-ad44-4bd6-ac59-bed31d895a1b%40sessionmgr12&vid=6&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=cmedm&AN=14518600

This article is from the Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing. It was written by a professor at Stanford who provides excellent contact information, including an e-mail address. The article discusses the importance of lifestyle over heredity. Although the author acknowledges that heredity plays a role, he emphasizes the importance of lifestyle and diet. Overall, I felt that this article was very informative and was validated by the number of times it has been referenced (47).
