Question: I just moved to MN and heard you talking about not using cruise control in the winter, can you please write about this?

It should be used only when you are able to drive at a steady speed with safe road conditions.

There are a few undeniable facts in life. One of those facts is that we are all subject to age in a predetermined way according to the genes we inherited from our ancestors. Yet, we are not helpless. We do control our environment, which triggers gene activity. For example, if your mom lost all her teeth by age 30, you do not have to follow her path. You can prevent tooth decay by using proper dental care.
