Easy to eat more fatty foods in early pregnancy boy

Scientists at the University of Missouri, recently said at the just fertilized and women in early pregnancy, the rich breakfast and high-fat high-energy diet will increase the chance of a boy, and eat lighter, or eat very little of pregnant women a girl will have a bigger chance of comparison.

 Reported in Western countries have such a saying - "If you want more meat on a boy", and the University of Missouri research has just confirmed this traditional view.

 In order to explore the impact of diet on the sex of a baby, scientists at the University of Missouri conducted a two-year study. Researchers to pregnant mice were divided into three groups, one fed a high fat, high calorie food, a group fed a low-calorie foods, and the third group was fed regular soy-based foods.

 Finally, the researchers found that after DNA testing, the belly of the three groups of mice embryos have a very significant genetic differences. In addition to gender differences, the scientists also noted that female mouse embryos are more sensitive to the mother's diet, genes are more likely to change due to changes in diet.

 University of Missouri led the research scientist, Dr. Rosenfeld said: "We found that if pregnant women at the beginning of fertilization and early stages of pregnancy, then eat a bad diet or daughter more easily, mainly because the truth survival of the fittest - - male embryos compared to female embryos is very fragile. "

 "In the conception and early pregnancy, regular and high-calorie breakfast rich diet does greatly increase the chance of a boy in the future," said Dr. Rosenfeld.

 In addition, scientists also study an interesting conclusion drawn, even if the fat mother son born normal weight, but also likely to get fat when they grow up than their sisters, which is high with the mother during pregnancy calorie diet.

 It is reported that the results of this study have been in the "Proceedings National Academy of Sciences," published.
