                                Research from the Dutch famine in 1944 famously demonstrated that maternal nutrition could have lasting epigenetic effects on offspring health. This highlights the profound connection between diet and our molecular biology, raising the question: what are epigenetic foods and how do they influence our genes? Nutritional epigenetics is the scientific field exploring this exact relationship.
