[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 138691, member: 15043"] I think Mountain Man is probably correct for the most part. Another thing to take into consideration is that each generation is going to have more DNA disruption from all the xenoestrogens and endocrine disruptors in the environment. Our epigenetics are mostly based off of what our grandparents, and great grandparents were exposed to. So a person that’s older now, like say Mountain Man, had grandparents and great grandparents that were exposed to less, and therefore he would have less DNA disruption, and would be a little more resistant to endocrine disruptors than say me at 32. My grandparents and great grandparents are a generation ahead of his, and therefore were exposed to more endocrine disruptors, and consequently I would have more DNA dysregulation. As we know, the environment, and our food, is just getting more and more toxic. So god help the future generations. A clear example of how poor this current generation’s epigenetics are, and how much more endocrine disruption is going on, is the amount of transgenders, and people with mental illness. Increased cancer rates are also a clear example that each generation’s epigenetics are more and more susceptible than the previous. Here’s an example of how epigenetics work. If both of your parents were gym rats their whole lives, those physical changes they made to their bodies will not greatly effect your physical genetics. However, their grandchildren, and great grandchildren will reap the benefits, and should see the positive changes to their physiques, whether it be keeping fat off easier, having more lean muscle tissue, and/or better overall bone structure/ muscle insertions. Point is, changes take around 2-3 generations to show up. If your parents have genetics to be very overweight and out of shape, but then workout like crazy and both become muscular and lean, you will unfortunately still have a perpensity to be overweight and store fat easily. Your grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, however, should have an easier time keeping the weight off. [/QUOTE]
