In his truly sensational book, German neurobiologist Peter Sporck invites you to explore the world of a new, revolutionary science - epigenetics. He explains why even those people who have not inherited cancer genes or led an unhealthy lifestyle die from cancer; why adults are prone to certain diseases if they experienced a lack of love in infancy; how our lifestyle can affect the fate of our grandchildren. And it shows what each of us can do to live a healthy and long life.
