A new discovery for pregnant women has been reveald that if they really want their baby to be a boy, they should eat a lot of bananas!
"We were able to confirm the old wives' tale that eating bananas and sohaving a high potassium intake was associated with having a boy, as wasa high sodium intake," research leader Fiona Mathews, a specialist inmammalian biology at Exeter University, told the Guardian newspaper.
The discovery shows that higher calorie intake prior to conception can significantly increase the chances of having a son while women on restricted diets are more likely to produce daughters.
They said that the discovery could explain why male births in richer countries are experiencing a slight reduction

Now, one teaching note: I see that you have your own original comment inside the Highlight box. Go back to "edit" and move that outside the Highlight box. BTW, interesting question for you: is that true in your own family? Do the women who've had a high amount of boy babies love bananas?
Now, another point--I thought that the gender was based on the input, shall we say, from the male. Have researchers changed their minds on that?

done!, thanks again for your kind advice, as for my family.....actually i never thought about the matter untill i have heard about this new discovery. I haven't maried yet, btw. I will begin to search the family, and update you with every discovery i find that ate a lot of bananas to have a baby boy ;)
The input of the male off course still affects the gender of the baby, but bananas now also play an important role.
Thanks again for your notes
