Dear Readers,

Nutrition is now proven to affect multiple generations of offspring. In other words, the nutritional state of the parents is carried and expressed through multiple generations of offspring.

This is groundbreaking news. It is nothing short of a revolution in life science because it shows that DNA is *not* the sole source of inheritance. "Epigenetic factors" such as diet and chemical toxins are now being understood as the controlling factors of genetic expression.

This means DNA is not the master plan for health. It also means that genes don't automatically manifest disease (except in rare cases) and that we can control our health outcomes through nutrition and avoidance of chemical pollutants.

This research has huge implications that go beyond the scope of today's article. It's almost as groundbreaking as the discovery of DNA itself. If Watson and Crick could see this now, they'd be fascinated...
