Summary This text synthesises the existing knowledge on how the in utero environment could be the most important environment in shaping later risk for various diseases or, conversely, to promote the health of the offspring. It mines the existing literature from a variety of disciplines, from toxicology to nutrition to epigenetics, to reveal how contrasting maternal in utero environmental changes might be leading to epigenetic convergence and the resulting deleterious phenotypic and physiological effects in our offspring.
