I'm not an expert, but it seems like this article might be blowing up a specific controversy into a general doubt about epigenetics. The stuff I've read talks about how during pregnancy, the mother transmits information about the environment to the fetus which causes epigenetic shifts. And this can compound generationally. The critical statements in this article appear to be specifically about epigenetic transmission via sperm, which I hadn't read about having strong evidence to back it up.
