"Circumstances alter molecules in sperm father. Dad's sperm that obesity has a program that makes the embryo susceptible to obesity and metabolic diseases when they grow up. For girls, the risk may be higher for overweight or obese," said lead researcher Dr. Tod Fullston , as reported by the Daily Mail.
