Eating breakfast can lead to boys
Scientists claim that pregnant women who eat regular breakfasts and have high calorie diets are more likely to have a baby boy.The study by Oxford and Exeter universities monitored the diets of 740 first-time mothers, categorizing them into those with high or low energy intakes.
56% of those with high energy intakes went on to have a boy while this number was just 45% among those with low energy diets.
Those mothers who had a boy were also more likely to have regularly eaten cereals for breakfast.
Scientists have known for years that in some animals more males are produced when there are plentiful resources - but this has never been proven in humans.
