According to studies, the sex of the child can be determined thanks to mother’s diet
The study, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, Britain’s de facto academy of sciences has reported that the low-energy diet that skimps on calories, minerals and nutrients is more likely to yield a female of the human species.
Fiona Mathews, who is with the University of Exeter in Britain and her colleagues wanted to understand why woman’s diet has an impact on the sex of her offspring. They made a research by asking 740 mothers for the first time, that haven’t know if their unborn foetuses were female or male to provide detailed records of eating habits before and after they became pregnant. It was made three groups of women sorted by the number calories they consumed per day around the time of conception.
Thanks to this experiment 56 % of the women in the group with the highest energy intake had sons, other 45 % for the least-well fed cohort.The group who produced more males were also more likely to have eaten a wider range of nutrients, including potassium, calcium and vitamins C, E and B12, beside racking up a higher calorie count.
