Well now, that puts a whole new slant on the meaning of 'familial'. I
always thought that it referred to a genetic or inheritable trait. You
imply that it could also refer to the fact that someone comes from a
family environment where for whatever reason (economic, cultural,
religious, etc.) the diet is such as to change the health status.
Interesting.
