I want twin studies on what things you can do to work on the 'nurture' part of your life please!
Saw this twin study which made me wonder, what else is out there on making lifestyle choices/epigenetics based on twin studies? Thank you.

It would be a good idea to read Jay Joseph's book The Trouble with Twin Studies: A Reassessment of Twin Research in the Social and Behavioral Sciences (Routledge, 2016). He goes over all the major twin studies. Read the editorial reviews listed on the Amazon page for an idea of what the book sets out to do, and its conclusions. Some advice based on twin studies may be based on faulty interpretation of what they actually show.
