Title: Epigenetic effects from a cooked diet?
Post by: TylerDurden on November 29, 2014, 08:19:30 pm

There has been a lot of speculation about epigenetics. For example, there was that study which showed that grandparents who smoked led to their grandchildren having a far higher risk of asthma, even if the parents in question had not smoked. Now, many millenia of eating cooked foods must have led to some awful long-term problems. I was wondering what the percentage rate of birth-defects wildlife is? I know that non-inbred humans have a c. 4% chance of  having birth-defects/genetic diseases, so it would be interesting to compare. Of course, some defects in wildlife might be mainly due to environmental pollution of some sort

I wonder as well. It's an interesting question, for sure.
