The epigenetic angle is an interesting one -- especially when it comes to carb addiction. Could it be that a pregnant woman's high-sugar/refined carb diet causes the baby in vitro to also be addicted to the same diet? It's worth looking into. I have this crazy theory (totally untested) that the insulin roller-coaster of the sugar/carb diet is itself addictive.
