According to epigenetics, what your ancestors eat,drink, smoking habits, exposure to pollutants or obesity etc can affect future generations .
There is evidence that the present diabetes, heart disease and obesity epidemics are partly linked to past generations lifestyle.
Obese pregnant mothers may be causing epigenetic changes in their children.
Smoking father had more obese children, the smoking is believe to change how the chilren's genes are expressed.
