Re: ADD and miscarriages?

Can ADHD meds affect your grandchildren?

I recall reading about a study, I believe having to do with nutrition, that correlated the diet of the father and the diet of the grandmother to the expression or likelihood some factor occurring, I don’t remember what. The theory was that they looked at what was going on (how well the father ate) during the formation of the father’s sperm, which happened prior to conception of the child, and the mother’s egg, which was formed when the mother was in utero. ( or how well the grandmother ate)

So could you be affected by ADHD meds if your father was on them at the time of your conception or if your grandmother was on them while pregnant with your mother? I’ve not seen or heard of any study addressing this question.

The link below is to a study, though not the one I remember, where they look for correlations between child and grandparents.

I find the idea interesting even though it is a bit off topic, as if anyone would care or notice.
