This ties in with Dr. Cate’s assertion that processed food is changing our DNA. Prior to my parents’ generation, eyeglasses were not usually needed until middle age. I got mine at 21. Changes in jaw structure led to the need to remove wisdom teeth behind the molars. But all 3 of my sons had to have additional teeth removed in order to get their teeth aligned properly. There simply was not enough room in their jaws to hold the standard number of teeth.
It is a scary thought that our DNA is being altered by all the rubbish we eat, and that future generations are paying the price. As you suggest, the effect is immediate, from one generation to the next.
