The latest press releases are claiming that research has been proven that diet can affect the gender of your child.

Studies have shown that women who have a lower calorie intake at the time of conception are more likely to have a girl. Experts claim that this could explain why the birth rate of males is falling in developed countries.

A boy or a girl

They state that not only does a higher energy intake link to giving birth to a boy but the women were shown to have eaten more nutrients containing potassium, calcium, and vitamins B12, C and E.

Apparently ladies who like to tuck into a nice healthy, hearty bowl of cereal in the mornings were also more likely to produce a son.

The study that has been analysed for over forty years indicates that women who have a lower calorie intake are much more likely to have a girl. If this is the case, then my only question is….why is it that Victoria Beckham has three boys? Surely if anyone should have given birth to a girl, it would have to be her?
