Product Overview

A story that will change your ideas about health and disease. Full of revolutionary and iconoclastic ideas impacting all our lives and the lives of generations of children as yet unborn.

* How we are ushered into life will affect how we leave it.

* Diseases such as diabetes can be passed transgenerationally from mother to daughter and from daughter to granddaughter by nongenetic mechanisms.

* The idea that our health is programmed in the womb is supported by life-time health records of babies born at the beginning of this century which show that birthweight is closely linked to health in later life.
