Fertility study targets dad's DNA

I was at work and came across this article on Fertility study targets dad's DNA from the San Jose Mercury News in the US.

Quote :

When Barbora Bell wanted to have kids, she ditched the birth control pills, popped prenatal vitamins, and got more iron and calcium. Her husband's pre-conception regimen was much easier: "He had a glass of wine," Bell said, laughing

The Los Gatos couple didn't hear a single dietary suggestion to help prospective fathers have healthy kids. If they had, Bell said, "we would have been doing it."

Women contribute just half their children's genes. Yet would-be dads are rarely bombarded with pre-pregnancy tips on diet missteps and toxic exposures, even though sperm DNA is vulnerable to defects that can cause possible health problems for their children.

Hi Cas, must be an apple thing coz I can't open either. Isn't it crap how we keep missing out on the good stuff!!

But the good thing is, we won't get any viruses - cause we can't connect to anyone else!! lol....

Funnily enough, when I did a search in google, it came up first so I went and read it. I then copied and pasted the link here and after posting it, I clicked on it and went to it.... weird huh?? Fortunately, I'm not geeky enough to understand why that would be the case!
