So.... what else causes epigenetic changes?

> "Interestingly, we consistently identified one marker that has previously been associated with tobacco use," Hou explained, "suggesting a potential shared epigenetic regulation between tobacco and marijuana use."

Well, I guess tobacco is something else that causes epigenetic changes.

coincidentally ppl smoke marijuana with tobacco, lol

Child abuse, alcohol, sugar, love, trauma, "Mild internet use", pet ownership, tanning, not getting enough sleep, etc. Basically everything.

Wait until people figure out they can take balanced cannabinoid gummies instead of nasty shit like diclophlenic acid and Advil.

According to Google:

> Exercise is a powerful environmental stimulus that causes epigenetic changes, particularly in muscle tissue.

As I understand it, epigenetic changes are your genome's response to the environment, so basically everything causes them to fluctuate on some level or another.

Now I am wondering would it be simpler to ask what does not cause epigenetic changes?

[Narhem → aszantu]

Mushrooms cause epigenetic changes. Click bait article is being click bait.

[DANmode → Narhem]

Changes aren't always bad.

Is it clickbait, or are we stupid readers?

[aszantu → DANmode]
