Nova: The Ghost in Your Genes

Scientists have long puzzled over the different fates of identical twins: both have the same genes, yet only one may develop a serious disease like cancer or autism. What's going on?

According to this controverisal research the environmental factors that occur two generations prior can affect the disposition of an individual to genetic diseases. Meaning if your grandparents smoke, were exposed to chemicals (DDT!) and other influences can cause epigenomal changes that can carry through to you.

This is one of the most monumental studies to date. It actually supports some of the Biblical passages. I’m not here to preach by any means. It has always been my supposition that what God was trying to communicate to us was a healthy way to live so that we could have a long life. For example telling us that we shouldn’t eat pork was because we couldn’t, in those days, understand that if we didn’t cook it properly we’d get trichinosis. Well here again is evidence of God’s trying to explain to us how we should live, and I’m speaking scientifically. I think the true message of God has been lost in the fervor of politics and control. The 5th commandment is excellent example, “The "sins of the fathers pass to the third and fourth generation".
When the Bible was written the popular language used was Aramaic. In Aramaic the term “sin” was actually an archery term meaning “missed the mark”. So what they were trying to tell people is that they weren’t on a healthy target, mentally and physically, over all.

This video actually substantiates the 5th commandment, “The Sins of the fathers pass to the third and fourth generation”. God was trying to let us know that what we do today may not effect us necessarily, but our grandchildren or their children. So it is important that we watch what we do, eat, say, react to each other, all of this can effect future generations. This is why we should have a more loving and accepting way of being with each other.

So everyone, as result, we have to really take a look at the food we are ingesting. All those fast food chains are the worst thing you can do to your future generations. We do not know the irreparable damage we’ve already done by allowing the food industry to use, steroids, hormones, antibiotics, among other chemicals, in our foods.

Namaste!
