I read a study a while ago that when men are fat, something happens to their sperm which passes on genes that makes their children more predestined to overeating. I don't know if it applies in this context too.
Yes it absolutely applies. Your sperm mutates with all kinds of toxins or environmental impacts. Why wouldn’t it. The human body is an engineered system. If you pour water on a electronic device, you destroy it. You drop your phone, you cause it to malfunction. You eat a crappy diet, every cell in your body including your reproductive cells get damaged over time.
Now, the diet thing will sound ridiculous if you DON’T accept that for the 250, 000 years of our evolutionary history, humans are mostly fatty meat, PERIOD. We were not sitting around in huts munching on kale leaves, starving our asses off. We wouldn’t have had the energy to survive let alone the robust health to reproduce. You see this a lot nowadays with long term vegans becoming sterile. The right there is proof that diet impacts your germ cells. Furthermore, there really isn’t any optimal nutritional food in itself. All that matters is what the species evolved to eat, and their physiology and genes adapted to that diet and EXPECT that diet. If you feed a species foods they weren’t designed to eat, they get sick and die. Vegetables are eternally healthy, right? Well, not for lions. Studies have shown that feeding lions a diet of vegetables basically makes them get sick and die. Lions are designed to eat zebras. Feed them broccoli, and the blind Genes in their bodies which are running the show (and keeping a sensitive ear to what kind of nutrition the environment is providing) they will eventually say “ok I don’t know what environment you’re in, but we don’t have the equipment to work with this s**t you’re eating. Let’s shut down this failed experiment. Enter: cancer.”
Deprive a baby lambs mother of Vitamin A ENTIRELY, it’s offspring is born WITHOUT EYES. Deprive it somewhat of Vitamin A, the offspring might have one eye, or half-formed eyes, or weakend eyes in some way. Your eyes need vitamin A. This is why I brought up the protein hypothesis. Your bones are made of proteins. If you don’t eat optimal protein, wouldn’t it make sense that you’d be born with “weak bone” structure ?
When you’re eating a crap diet, You can’t produce healthy robust children when you’re sick and dying. Now, there are degrees to “getting sick and dying.” A diet full of foods we didn’t have 250, 000 years ago are killing us slowly. They are mutating our germ cells, slightly, insidiously, over time. Cancer in the wild is way way rarer than in humans. But for this argument to make sense, you have to research the true optimal diet for humans, and I believe that is a meat and organ meat based diet. And then you have to realize that we have gotten away from this type of diet tremendously. Actually, we DEMONiZE the whole meat industry.
This is my story. Grandparents on both side are robust. Big and wide, wide square chins and square jaws, they were farm men in Europe. Ate the food they cultivated. Came to America during world war 2. Started eating the sweets and trans fats and processed junk here. They had children who were slightly less robust but by far good enough... and then the next generation the problem has gotten worse. I would say most evidently in me. It’s not “genetics”. The recessed bones in my face are just one manifestation of general health problems I’ve suffered with my whole life. You can see traces of my genetic potential (I.e the true genetic phenotype of a person) but that has been distorted and not develop correctly. That to me is not genetic, it’s yours ancestors genes slowly sensing over generations the the nutritional intake is becoming vapid and degenerated and so it throws up the best design it can given its nutritional raw materials it Not only has at the moment in your parents’ bodies but that it PREDICTS will also be out there for you when you’re born. It’s like men who have high testosterone become totally dysfunctional when they’re get older and suffer from low test... they suffer more than men with lesser test to begin with, because their whole biological design was predicated and fueled on testosterone. Protein perhaps is the same thing ? If your parents’ Diets is not optimal in this area, why would your germ cells give you a robust bone structure when its incoming data shows that there won’t be enough protein out there to remineralize your bones throughout life. I could be wrong about this, but robust men tend to like their steaks. Maybe they need it. Less robust men can survive and apparently thrive on all kinds of twigs and shrubs, lol.
Humans are not supposed to not develop correctly. They are not supposed to end up with half-matured childlike bodies and/ or faces. In my mind that’s not genetic. That’s mutated germ cells that cause this before you were even conceived.
Why do cigarettes mutate germ cells ? Or antidepressants ? Or anabolic steroids ? I’ve noticed a pattern in steroid users having kids with autism and other developmental problems, Because they are all chemical insults the body is not DESIGNED to take in. And so they reek havoc.
Remember guys.. I am proposing this only as a HYPOTHESIS, I am not saying it is correct. I only simply believe it to be true given the information I have now, but that could change. Welcome to have my mind changed.
