Mother’s Travails May Appear in Offspring’s DNA
Puzzled over health complications more persistent among African Americans than in other Americans, researchers invoke epigenetics.

Advances in the field of epigenetics show that environmental contaminants can turn genes "on" and "off" triggering serious diseases that are handed down through generations. But there's also a more heartening prospect: The same diseases may be treated by relatively simple changes in nourishment and lifestyle.
