Researcher Sonia de Assis of Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington DC and her associates found a possible clue that genes might not be the only way that cancer propagates across generations. They discovered that feeding pregnant rats on fat-rich diet meant both their daughters and granddaughters faced a higher risk of developing breast cancer. This finding unfolds ominous implications if the same phenomenon were to hold true for humans. De Assis, who presented her study before the American Association for Cancer Research, suspects her research might lead to conclusive finding linking breast cancer with causes other than genetic transmission in humans. This could underline the need for higher nutritional discipline for pregnant mothers to safeguard their offspring from the chilling fangs of cancer.
