Gee wiz, could we have a bit of intelligent discussion here. For instance, I am wondering if this has anything to do with epigenetics? Or would this perhaps explain recent studies wherein the health and nutrition of grandparents seems to have an impact on the grandchildren even if the parents seem healthy, and if I recall correctly the effects are more pronounced on males?

I found some stuff on DNA and ATP dependent nucleosome remodeling, but I don’t understand it. However, I am interested in any discussion about it, and will hang around and try not to be a nuisance.
