Gender Influences

What a woman eats around the time she conceives may influence her baby's gender.

British scientists who used data from 740 first-time mothers found those who ate a few hundred calories more per day around the time they got pregnant were more likely to give birth to boys, than women in the lowest calorie intake group.

Women also had a greater chance of bearing a boy if their diets were higher in potassium, calcium, and vitamins C, E and B12. Also eating breakfast cereals was also strongly associated with having a male infant.
