Fat? Sick? Blame your grandparents' bad habits

This is running way, way, WAY ahead of the science on the issue. I've read some of the papers that are based on the Dutch famine population in the local journal club I attend with behavior genetics researchers. I've also read the paper about the mice smelling a stimulus scent associated with aversive treatment. The effect sizes are not strong enough to conclude there is a reproducible effect here. Nobody who is looking responsibly at the data is yet ready to conclude that there are a lot of strong influences on phenotype passed on to grandchildren (F2 generation) that are caused by environmental influences on the grandparents (the P generation).

Uh, what? No. If you&#x27;re fat and sick, its because you&#x27;re eating grains, refined sugars, and legumes, and stop demonizing meat and fat. Cut all of those out of your diet and you&#x27;ll feel much better.<p>Don&#x27;t think it works? I went from 340 pounds to 214 in exactly a year with no increase in exercise, and now I weigh 184 and I&#x27;m still going.
