;Dwho say Christians are dumb. to believe bible account of creation rather than evolution by scientist...They keep contradicting them selves, no more Y chromosome from male & XX from female. Anyway one day they will be bold enough to come out & tell the whole world that there is GOD.....Until then let them continue to desive the gullible with their delusion.

I have natural aversion of this kind of research. It's isn't by force that we must all have male kids... It isn't by force that we must all have kids....

Our world is overpopulated, and our natural resources are diminishing. If u having female kids and want a male kid, why can't u simply adopt 1?

Oh boy.... When researches are done, scientist conduct field studies.... If the evidence is substantial, then they publish it...

So just because you know a woman that hates bananas and has 3 boys doesn't make this research nonsensical.

There has been much debate over the years about whether it is possible to increase the chances of having a baby of a particular sex by any means.

There are many theories around but there is little in d way of scientific evidence to support them.
Specific diets are advocated by some people, usually giving the advice that eating 'acid' foods helps in conceiving a boy, whereas eating 'alkaline' foods help in conceiving a girl.
There is no proof that this is the case, and as eating a varied and nutritious diet is essential for d health of both mother and baby, restricting your diet in this way is not a good idea.

It has also bn suggested that having sex frequently before ovulation is more likely to result in a female baby being conceived, and this is based upon the fact that female sperm seem to survive for longer than male sperm (up to three days).
Having sex after ovulation is supposed to be more likely to result in a male baby as the male sperm seem to be faster and lighter than the female sperm, and thus are more likely to reach the egg first.
There is no scientific evidence that following these recommendations is likely to work, but at least there will not be any adverse effects from doing so.Another often quoted fact (again not proven) is that having frequent sex tends to result in the man producing a higher percentage of female sperm as compared to male.
One of the most wonderful things about conception and pregnancy is the magic and mystery of it all.
Many women enjoy the fact that they cannot have complete control over this special process, and appreciate all the more the small person who arrives at the end of nine months.
So if you like consume one bag of bananas daily, and watch yourself swell up like elephantiasis.

Itulah: LONDON, England (CNN) -- Women can influence the gender of their child with what they eat before they conceive, according to new research that lends scientific support to age-old superstitions about pregnancy.

The discovery shows higher calorie intake prior to conception can significantly increase the chances of having a son while women on restricted diets are more likely to produce daughters.

Scientists at Britain's Oxford and Exeter Universities, who studied eating habits of 740 women during their first-time pregnancies, say that their findings seem to back certain traditional links between diet and gender while disproving others.

"We were able to confirm the old wives' tale that eating bananas and so having a high potassium intake was associated with having a boy, as was a high sodium intake," research leader Fiona Mathews, a specialist in mammalian biology at Exeter University, told the Guardian newspaper.

"But the old take about drinking a lot of milk to have a girl doesn't seem to hold up. In fact, more calcium meant they were again more likely to have a boy."

Mathews said the study pointed to a simple technique to influencing the chances of a male birth: Eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast.

"If you want a boy, eat a healthy diet with a high calorie intake, including breakfast," she told New Scientist magazine.

"Of women eating cereals daily, 59 percent had boys, compared with only 43 percent who bore boys in the group eating less than a bowlful per week."

The researchers said that a higher calorie intake prior to conception can increase the chances of having a son from ten to 11 boys in every 20 births, according to the study published in the Proceeding of the Royal Society B.

They said it could explain why male births in richer countries are experiencing a slight reduction.

I just had a banana. It is one of the best things to eat after exercising. You see lots of tennis players eating it during a break. Lots of potassium.

H-Star89:


I'll keep this in mind when I'm ready to have kids wink

Good! You shouldn't have to wait long. There are lots of decent Nairalanders that need a wife.

Which one are you in your profile pic? I like the Malian pattern on the dress of the dreadlocked girl. (no homo)

Can we still say "dreadlocked"? embarassed
