Proof Epigenetics is Real: Study Confirms Mother’s Diet Changes Gene Expression in Offspring. Epigenetics is an emerging science that mainstream biologists and medical professionals have largely ignored.
It details how our environment can deeply change a human being for the better or worse. Bruce Lipton, PhD has talked about the fact that our health is not controlled by genes for many years, but now, a scientific experiment has proven that the archaic understanding that genes determine reality is largely untrue. Lipton explains: “Medicine does miracles, but it’s limited to trauma. The AMA protocol is to regard our physical body like a machine, in the same way that an auto mechanic regards a car. For now, mainstream medicine tells us that if we end up with cancer or heart disease, it was in our genes, and the only way to really rectify the situation is to undergo invasive, and expensive surgeries or take prescription medications which the industry makes billions on. The researchers found that children conceived with a better diet had higher methylation rates. For example, Dr. !etd. Mathers.pdf. Url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=42&ved=0CCwQFjABOCg&url=

As mentioned above, the word “epigenetics” means “above genetics” and generally refers to mechanisms that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. Epigenetic changes encompass molecular modifications to DNA and chromatin.12,13 The most extensively investigated modifications are DNA methylation and changes to chromatin packaging of DNA by post-translational histone modifications.12,13 Other epigenetic mechanisms include regulation by noncoding RNAs, such as microRNAs, and mechanisms that control the higher-level organization of chromatin within the nucleus, which also affects gene expression.31 Two of the most comprehensively studied epigenetically regulated phenomena in mammals are X-chromosome inactivation32 and genomic imprinting, a genetic mechanism that controls gene expression in a parent of origin–specific manner.16,33 Epigenetic regulation is furthermore involved in tissue-specific gene expression and silencing.34.

Nutrigenomics (the study of the bidirectional interactions between genes and diet) and metabolomics (the integrated study of the many small molecules produced by metabolism) are rapidly developing new bodies of knowledge that will change future research and practice in human nutrition.
Just as the published human genome is an average representation of genes in humans, there is a human metabolome that is an average representation of metabolic potential for humans. However, there is significant variation from the average in both genome and metabolome in any given individual. Nutrigenomic and metabolomic profiling will help identify mechanisms that underlie individual variations in dietary requirements as well as in the capacity to respond to food-based interventions.
Although nutrition clinicians eventually may be able to provide personalized nutrition recommendations, they are most likely, in the immediate future, to use this knowledge to improve dietary recommendations for populations. Institute for Functional Medicine > FOCUS ON: Changing Gene Expression Without Changing Genes. One of the most absorbing topics emerging from modern health science is epigenetics, defined as “heritable changes in gene activity that are not caused by changes in the DNA sequence….
The term also refers to … functionally relevant changes to the genome that do not involve a change in the nucleotide sequence. Examples of mechanisms that produce such changes are DNA methylation and histone modification, each of which alters how genes are expressed without altering the underlying DNA sequence.”1 These are concepts that profoundly shift our understanding of health and disease and of the nature vs. nurture debate—particularly when nutrition enters the picture.Randy Jirtle, PhD, one of the leading researchers in the field of epigenetics, will be sharing insights with us at the 2014 Annual International Conference, Functional Perspectives on Food and Nutrition: The Ultimate Upstream Medicine.
