Toxic Exposure Can Trigger Disease for 20 Generations

A single exposure to a common fungicide during pregnancy can haunt a family line for 20 subsequent generations, according to a staggering new study. The research found that health problems—including kidney, prostate, and reproductive issues—not only persisted but actually worsened centuries later in “human time.”

By the 15th generation, the pathology became lethal, with high rates of death during birth for both mothers and offspring. This discovery of “epigenetic transgenerational inheritance” suggests that many modern chronic diseases may be rooted in the environmental exposures of ancestors who lived hundreds of years ago.
