What I learnt from epigenetics.
You are not only what you eat.... you are also what your grandparents ate... and what your great grandparents ate....
Besides, how we handle stress or why we develope diabetes, might be a reenactment of the past on how our grandparents handled stress during war or famine (not as far as early humans that we previously thought off). Because their experience are imprinted in their genes and passed down to us.
*It could explain my gelabahness.. hmmm...
So remember kids, don't be selfish and think what you do is only your business, because its not.
Stay clean!
*Lamarck might be correct after all....

macam pseudoscience je. apsal mcm far-fetched sgt?
ReplyDeleteEpigenetics ni pasal the structure, not the sequence. And how certain genes is turned on and off. Same genes, but the way the genes are switched on and off are different due to environment. And inheritable.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, its definitely not pseudoscience.
