Fathers diet affects offspring disease state.

Interesting epigenetic study showing a link between a fathers diet pre pubescent diet and disease development in female offspring mice. Basically the offspring of male mice on a high fat diet while prepubescent resulted in female offspring more likely to develop diabetes. http://www.the-scientist.com/news/display/57757/…
