Do you fit into them though?
Theyâve been in the family for generations. I inherited them from the father.

Limerick wonât be safe tonight with @Julio_Geordio @Rintintin @TreatyStones on fire and on the town
limerick is never safe
But you said it disproved everything i believe in?
Despite the fact that i actually would have plenty to believe in epigenetics.
Read it again. I said it (epigenetics) supported a lot of what you believe in, that the non polymaths around here claim is nonsense.
You canât let that time we ran shamrock rovers out of town cloud your judgement mate

Nope you saidi poo pooâd a study.
I poo pooâd the notion that one study on one book proved that obesity now was caused by famine how wver many years ago.
Marketing and a surplus of dairy product are some of the reasons for obesity in the states for instance. Like most things, they are multi factorial
You dismissed the study without a notion of what itâs about. Obviously obesity is due to overeating and in particular overeating the wrong foods. The question though is why do people overeat, which is what the study addresses. Just like the question why do some people drink too much alcohol. The answer is in the study, and itâs one of many studies on the subject.
In the case of the Dutch Winter Famine, what the study demonstrates is that children born from famine victims had a tendency to overeat and become obese. The science behind this is that changes to the epigenome of their parents were passed on to them, something that was thought to be impossible. Further studies have shown the overreating tendency carries on for generations.
How do they know that itâs not behavioural or cultural rather than something genetic?

They compared children of people exposed to famine to those that werenât, the strongest evidence from within the same families where some were born before the famine and some afterwards. The epigenetic markers (methylation) were there in the children that were born from famine victims. In other words the changes to the parents epigenome during the famine that caused them to eat as much as they could when food was available, was passed only to children conceived during the famine period. There would have been no significant difference between how they were raised, so it rules out cultural or behavioral aspects after birth.
Maybe the reason there are so many fat Americans is because a high percentage of them are are descendants of famine victims.

It was the offspring of women who were going through the third trimester, kid⌠they had a genetic disposition to store fat as they didnt know when they would get food again.

I read somewhere that genes have memories that span 6 generationsâŚcould be complete bollox.
TSG, spoiler that shit first.
Sounds legit to me. Weâll run with it.
Thta could be hust as easily seen as environmental factors, and not genes. Its one study.
I dismissed fagans use of it. Not the entire study.
