Science has long been clear that smoking or heavy alcohol consumption causes cancer. But a new study has found that babies could inherit genetic damage from a father who puffs or drinks too much. A team of international researchers has found that smoking or drinking alcohol can cause chemical changes in the semen in men and the alterations could be potentially inherited by their progenies and their future generations. The researchers have also identified specific genes involved in the production of sperm that were permanently altered by the exposure to the pesticide. The researchers came to the conclusion after they analysed the effects of smoking and heavy drinks both toxic in nature on a group of rodents. They gave pregnant female mice daily infections of pesticide vinclozolin during the period when the sex of embryos is determined. We have to aware about how toxins lead to inheritable abnormalities so please avoid smoking save the environment as well as our future generation in future and hence live a healthy life...
