jpsdad, that's the study I was referring to. In my perhaps faulty recollection, children born during extreme food scarcity in a remote Scandinavian fishing town had elevated rates of diabetes & mortality. Even grandchildren felt the effects, though DNA was unchanged. Smoking also had epigenetic impacts on descendents.

This shocking result is one of many reasons why I discount phrases like "the science says" or "obey the science" or "the scientific consensus is." In a battle between experts & observational evidence, I prefer to go with the evidence.
