I've extracted this paragraphs,

More recently, however, researchers have begun to realize that epigenetics

could also help explain certain scientific mysteries that traditional

genetics never could: for instance, why one member of a pair of identical

twins can develop bipolar disorder or asthma even though the other is fine.

Or why autism strikes boys four times as often as girls. Or why extreme

changes in diet over a short period in Norrbotten could lead to extreme

changes in longevity. In these cases, the genes may be the same, but their

patterns of expression have clearly been tweaked

Biologists offer this analogy as an explanation: if the genome is the

hardware, then the epigenome is the software. " I can load Windows, if I

want, on my Mac, " says ph Ecker, a Salk Institute biologist and leading

epigenetic scientist. " You're going to have the same chip in there, the same

genome, but different software. And the outcome is a different cell type. "

This article basically explains that our ENVIRONMENT affect our GENES's

expression, and this is an ongoing process. How many doctors are saying,

our children have some

genetic vulnerabilities but IF THE WRONG COMBINATION of events, this would

not happen.

In my opinion a big part of our ENVIRONMENT is the

current MEDICAL / PEDIATRIC / GYNECOLOGICAL /DENTIST practices, and I am not

even talking about vaccines (this is just one small part of the problem),

antibiotics, ignorance, short vision (pediatricians do not know enough of

nutrition or the immune system, for me it is like to give a GUN (vaccines)

to a child, is that much dangerous...etc...
