Human Enhancement

Lifestyle and genetics: how they impact your heart

Apples are displayed in a wheel barrow during an event promoting Polish apples in Warsaw August 6, 2014. Moscow announced its ban on most fruit and vegetable imports from Poland last week following the European Union's decision to impose sanctions targeting Russia's banking, oil and defence sectors because of the Kremlin's actions in Ukraine. Poland is the world's largest exporter of apples with more than two-thirds of them going to Russia. The statistics office put the value of Poland's apple exports to Russia last year at 273 million euros ($366 million).
