One of the most important threats for human's health is, undoubtedly, the genetic diseases. What a genetic disease is? It is a disorder caused by genetic factors and especially abnormalities in the human genetic material (genome). There are four main types of genetic disorders. Of course, some of these changes in genome can cause interesting advantages in specific environments (Darwinian Fitness). But there is no doubt that all these abnormalities (disorders) bring destructive results to a living being in the present environment.

I am currently doing some research regarding Genetics, Nutrition and Diseases and ties between all three. From this article, I am assuming there four major causes of genetic diseases have no ties to nutritional habits. For example, if I eat poorly today become diabetic, then get pregnant in five years there is not genetic tie between diabetes and the child? Is this the case?

I realize that the genetic tie would be the environment, but I am more interested in the DNA connection.
