From an early age, we are inundated with the helpless belief that our genes are set in stone – a fixed code – a destiny that we cannot control. The study of epigenetics debunks this mythical mindset, revealing how external factors change our gene expression throughout our lifetime.
The field of epigenetics examines more closely the relationship between our genes and our environment, and how man-made chemicals influence cellular processes, ultimately changing the expression of our genes. Some chemicals may inactivate genes that are normally active. Other chemicals may activate genes that would typically lay dormant. These chemically-induced changes in gene behavior can initiate health problems, especially in the womb, during childhood development and puberty.
Pesticides of the past alter gene expression from one generation to the next
Now the field of epigenetics is discovering a disturbing new trend. Man-made chemical pesticides (such as the persistent pollutant DDT), are altering gene expression through multiple generations, destroying the inherent health of entire bloodlines. This means pesticides are silently changing the expression of genes, generation after generation, and the damage is being carried on, restricting future generations’ ability to live harmoniously with their environment. The pesticides are interfering with people’s natural relationship with their bodies and the world around them. The damage of past pesticides (such as DDT) is being carried out and expressed in the genes of new generations of people who may not even consider the banned pollutant to be a threat.
