booqee: but even this yam you're talking about is called ewura or water yam, and contrary to ur opinion i think its peculiar to the ijebus not oyo and ondo. Infact ikokore na the number one ijebu food and its made from this water yam.
bros I never mention Ewura to be the specific WILD yam that Enhance Multiple birth, i just mention some yams which am not sure of any1 among them until i confirm da name of da wild yam sir... Yorubas have different Yams specially for different dishes... For instance, the best yam for pounded yam is AMARA... Ewura is gud for OJOJO... We also have Igangan, dagi dagi, ikokoro, gidiyo etc... And ijebu yorubas are known for ikokore buh in otha part of yoruba land we have OJOJO wich i dnt knw if it's the same wit ikokore... Yorubas process yams into different dishes AMALA, ASARO, OJOJO, IKOKORE, ISU SUNSUN, ISU BIBO, ISU YIYAN AND ALSO YAM CHIPS... May be u av gat to eat YAMS in those forms b4 u are qualify to born Twins grin

Some people can like to read and understand before making comments. There is a specific type of yam in Oyo so it doesn't apply to all types. So if your mom, sister, friend, girl friend, aunty or whoever eats/ate yam 3 times a day and she doesn't/didn't have twins, please ask her where the yam is from.

Anyway, all I see right now is good business and money.

[quote
author=hitman2911]Some experts believed that high content of plant
hormone phytoestrogen in yam and cassava is more likely to be
responsible for the release of 2 or more eggs on monthly basis during
menstrual cycle.
However, there is really no strong scientific evidence to support this
claim. Okro and Agida (a vegetable) also have high level of
phytoestrogen. All these are consumed on daily basis by the Yorubas.
The yam species regularly consumed by the Yorubas contain Diosgenin
which can be used to commercially produce Progesterone and other
hormones same as a wild yam known as Mexico yam which was used to
produce hormones in the 1960s. However diosgenin can't be converted to
estrogen in the human body after consumption.
Genetic predisposition has a stronger association than dietary link.
Many tribes and groups in Nigeria do also consume yam but do not have as
much twinning rates as the Yorubas.
For epidemiologists who may be interested in this study, Yoruba women in
diaspora who are not consuming yam will serve as a control for this
research. [/quote] in benue state they have high twinning rate as well.
