Epigenetics shows how diet influences gene expression across generations

Summary: Genetics has evolved with the emergence of epigenetics, showing how environmental factors influence gene expression. Nutritional epigenetics studies how diet affects genes across generations. The Dutch Hunger Winter highlighted how famine led to epigenetic changes affecting health outcomes in subsequent generations. Research on animals and humans demonstrates the impact of parental diet on offspring. Making healthy dietary choices can positively influence future generations' health.
