Epigenetics

Say whaa....?!

Oh yes, there's more to DNA than genes, and more to genes than we ever guessed!

"Nova" is still on, but I'm cutting to the chase here and summing it up.

Nurture AFFECTS Nature.

The way you are brought up, the environment around you, the amount of stress inflicted on your during your developing years, actually CHANGES your GENES.

OMG - it's way too complicated for me to understand... But there are things called "markers", and they can be re-arranged... and it just blows my mind, but the basic truth is:

Moms, hug and kiss and tickle and sing to and sniff your babies. And rub their skin and kiss them again and again and again.

Anyway, that word, "epigenetics" is gonna be big in the next decade.

You heard it here first, folks.
