Ben Greenfield: "The interesting thing about the exposomics though, is that that ties back into the epigenetics. If you look at tobacco smoke, for example. You smoke, you change your methylation of a few different genes, and that actually can permanently affect genetic expression in your offspring and affect their methylation capabilities. That's some pretty important stuff to actually be looking at."
Dr. Ted Achacoso: "Yeah, in fact there's a wonderful slide, the image is out there in the internet, where there's a mother who's smoking, and then she's passing on her genes and her epigenetics to her daughter, and her daughter's daughter, because their reproductive cells of the daughter's daughter will have it. So you're affecting three generations: there's a grandmother, the mother and the grandchild will, from the smoking grandmother, actually shows the effect of epigenetics. It's actually pretty cool."
