Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» Some of us grow stronger through adversity and some of us are damaged for life. Does this potential always occur at conception?
Researchers aren't quite sure what mechanism produces it, but based on birth/death/cause of death records from a Swedish town called Overkalix, if your GRANDFATHER suffered poor nutrition in pre-adolescence to early adolescence, it increases YOUR risk of metabolic diseases (heart disease, diabetes, etc.)
Good grief SP! SERIOUSLY? Wow. That is so sad. So if great grandpappy suffers something catastrophic it will/could affect YOU? Oh my gosh! I had no idea though if one thinks about it of course it makes sense. Thank you for your thoughtful and extremely informative reply. After I post this I will click on the link you so kindly provided. Happy Monday to thee SP! :)I guess we are the sum total of everyone who went before us. Scary. I just read it and of course I will ask a question about it. Which brings me to a question of you. I always give credit where it is due but in a "blind" fashion. Now when I quote Spunky she has given me permission to use her name. May I have permission to use your name futurely if I use something you told me to ask a question? Thanks SP bigly!
