Twins are getting more common, but that doesn’t mean that you know everything about them. Here’s ten interesting facts about twins that you might not have heard before!

Taller women are more likely to have twins
Taller women have more insulin growth factor, which increases ovary sensitivity and chance of ovulating, which in turn can lead to double egg releases, and fraternal twins.



The chance of twins can also be racial
Nigeria has by far the highest rate of twin births in the entire world, with a staggering 4 times higher rate of twins than anywhere else!


Yoghurt and milk can make you have twins
Yep. Women who consume dairy are five times more likely to have twins. Female cows also produce insulin growth factor, which finds its way into their milk, which gets into our bodies when we drink it and increases our levels of IGF. So if you want twins, start drinking all that milk! Because of this, people who have a vegan diet are five times less likely to have twins.



Twins can have different fathers
If two eggs are released in the way that would normally lead to fraternal twins, and a woman has sex with two different men in a short amount of time, then it’s possible for both eggs to be fertilised by these two different men, leading to a pair of twins that are delivered at the same time, but are technically siblings rather than twins.
