In this study the differences of food supply are assumed to be random in relationship to genetic differences. Can we really assume that? For instance suppose that there was a reason for that some grandparents were short of food - ADHD - alcoholism, just to give a few of very many possible examples. I do not feel convinced by the claims of this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.235.173.250 (talkcontribs) 15:25, 4 October 2010


This article should be corrected with additional comments regarding why this study should NOT be considered definitive. Small study size, uncontrolled-for exposures, way too many unknowns that could not be controlled for, arrives at conclusions only vaguely supported by the findings (which themselves are weak and undependable). It is unfortunately used as a proof of epigenetics. KipHansen (talk) 14:42, 16 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
