Epigenetics is the study of how changes in our environment produce changes in our DNA. Our bodies are programmed to collect inormation about our environment, then re-adjust our DNA, and helping us survive. For example, a pregnant mother who eats too little signals her fetus to adapt to a food-poor environment, resulting in her baby's lower birth-weight and slower metabolism.

"Sons reduce a mother's life span by an average of 34 weeks," say biologists at UK's Sheffield University (Scientific American, Oct 2007). It's likely due to the burden of the male's higher birth weight, and mom's higher risk to infectious disease caused by prenatal testosterone levels in the womb which impair mom's immune system. Also, it is the daughter, not the son, who takes on the life-extending role of caregiver to an elderly mother. 5-stars, AgeVenture News Service "Making males might manifest maternal malady".
