SO FASCINATING!! :) Definitely worth the short read! Heres my abbreviated abstract: Epigenetics looks at the role that other factors (environmental, dietary, etc) that can turn on and off our genetic predispositions. Methylation is a piece of this epigenetic picture and largely dependent upon the B vitamins we have available in our bodies. What these researchers are finding is that for women upon conception, their growing babys DNA expression can be altered based on the methylation (or lack their of) predisposing them to risks of diseases such as diabetes, obesity and mental disorders! Weight also appears to be linked to methylation of growing babys genes as well. More research needs to be done, but very interesting.....! Take home lessons: *Women - make sure youre at a healthy weight and eating well (especially B-vitamin rich foods) when thinking about getting pregnant! *Men - help support your lady (and potential future children) by preparing healthy, B-vitamin rich foods :) npr.org/blogs/health/2014/04/29/307787984/moms-diet-right-before-pregnancy-can-alter-babys-genes
