Men who have an unhealthy, high-cholesterol diet, when they become fathers can cause increased risk of cardiovascular disease, or CVD, in their daughters, a University of California, Riverside-led mouse study has found. The research, published in the journal JCI Insight, is the first to demonstrate this result seen only in female offspring.

The daughters of fathers who eat unhealthy diets may have an increased risk of heart disease, according to a recent mouse study.

If you’re a man and planning for a kid, the alarming results of the recent study should prompt you to adopt a healthy lifestyle, especially a nutritious diet. We are what we eat. However, a man’s diet can significantly impact his daughter’s health by increasing the risk of a serious illness.
