Generally, it’s less that the advice doesn’t apply, so much as the weighting of the advice differs. Perpetual Bacon-Breakfast may be more tolerable for certain genetic combinations, but health would still generally improve if they set that aside. It’s just that the improvement for some is marginal, and the improvement for others is life-changing.
Comment on "Health" is a lie concocted by Big Sad to make you sadder

Anyone know of people that have been eating bacon and egg breakfasts for everyday for their entire life and they’re not horridly overweight and actually healthy?
Turns out their genome codes for a set of enzymes that lets them do that. Probably the same thing here, Churchill had a genome that let him smoke and drink as much as he wanted and Montgomery had genomes that let him be fit and sharp and whatever. In the end, a lot of health advice is overly generalized as each of our genomes are so different that any one piece of advice might not apply.

And yet, look at the silly wasteful ways we’ve been using CRISPR.
“Curing disease”? Pssshh.
