Studies indicate that our parents can inherit more than the taste of a certain football team, they can also inherit the consequences of their bad eating habits, publishes the scientific journal Cell.

The diet yes it can create a difference in the genetic code of the next generation. Our parents not only inherit us genetic material . Researchers from the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine put a male mouse with a low protein diet since they stopped breastfeeding him, until he reached his sexual maturity. Then they studied their offspring and they found significant changes.

The second generation of mouse offspring, they had hundreds of genetic mutations , particularly in the liver and in the levels of cholesterol . These changes had a severe impact on the functioning of their metabolism. The project leader Oliver Rando mentioned in another publication, in the newspaper The Huffington Postthat the third generation of offspring is expected to be of greater interest, since this is the one that usually develops the most genetic alterations .

The results, in conjunction with recent epidemiological information on Humans, indicate that the father diet can affect cholesterol and lipid metabolism in his offspring. Researchers still do not understand how to transfer the Genetic information from father to son. Therefore, more studies will have to be carried out on human beings.
