Research Indicates Seeds of Disease are Sown Before Birth Aug 3rd 2013, 15:10 Possibly, these aberrations result from stressors in the intrauterine environment (e.g. maternal smoking, maternal diet, or high levels of endocrine-disrupting chemicals). This finding supports the belief that seeds of disease are sown before birth, increasing the importance of optimal prenatal care. "This study may help us understand whether epigenetic mechanisms contribute to chronic disease susceptibility already prior to birth," Karin Michels, Sc.D., Ph.D., study author from Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, said.
