I may have to take back that statement. A new study called epigenetics reveals that inheritance is not limited to our genes. Studies have shown that effects of exposure to pesticides and other chemicals, such as cancer can be transmitted to future generations. This is very disturbing evidence suggesting that we must be very careful to preserve and protect our epigenome from damage.
