An article in the Sacramento Chronicle guided parents on how to
teach epigenetics and nutrigenomics to your children. These
science topics are becoming more main stream every day. Children
are being taught the new science as text books are rewritten.
They define these two topics as: - Epigenetics is the science of
finding safe and healthful ways to switch on the good gene tags
and switch off the bad gene tags. Researchers are trying to find
foods and supplements as well as actual drugs to switch on or
off tags that direct genes. - Nutrigenomics marries nutrition to
genomics. And genomics is a branch of genetics that researches
genomes. All your genes together make up your genome.
Epigenetics and nutrigenomics work together to help find the
smart foods and tailor them to your type. We need to start our
children young on learning that their genes do NOT make them
victims but are under their control. How they live their lives
and the choices they make will affect their health and well-
being. What are you telling
