Boy or girl? According to scientists, the mother's diet affects the gender of the baby

Some studies have shown that food can affect the gender of the baby. The gender of the child is determined by the mother's and father's chromosomes, but scientists have concluded that it is possible that the mother's diet also affects whether a boy or a girl will be born. The French scientist, Josif Stolkovski, in the 60s of the last century published the theory in which they noticed the change in vaginal secretion under the influence of certain foods.

Depending on what the woman eats, he considers that the X or Y chromosomes become less active. Stolkovski says that it is not excluded that the egg cell itself, depending on nutrition, chooses some variants of male cells for fertilization.

Other scientists returned to this theory and analyzed the diet of 50 pregnant women. It has been found that most mothers of male children consume foods with low potassium content, while mothers of girls prefer foods rich in calcium.

After their research, experts advised women to follow the chosen food for 4 months before pregnancy and then you can switch to a normal diet. To have a girl, they recommend not to salt the food, consume milk and milk products, meat, fish, eggs and sweets. Exclude from your diet coffee, tea, chocolate, sausages, smoked meat, pickles, peaches, bananas and beets.

To have a boy, they recommend salty food, sausages, rice, pasta, potatoes, pickles, bananas, apricots. Exclude milk and meat products, eggs and salad from your diet. The authors of this research claim success in 80% of cases, but no scientific study has proven the effectiveness of such a diet.
