Bananas = Boys?

Check out this story in The N&O today.

It's about a new study that found that women who eat potassium-rich foods like bananas and don't skip breakfast are more likely to have boys.

There is a fair amount of caution in the story (see the very end). So don't get your hopes up if you want a baby boy.

I probably ate a banana and a bowl of cereal every day before I got pregnant and was thrilled to welcome my baby girl.

Quite interesting. Who knows. I ate my share of bananas and am not a breakfast skipper. It was boys.

Warmly,

Yeah, I wouldn't bank on it.

I hate bananas, and I hate breakfast, but I love my two boys!

Hilarious Teresa! I was hoping if I avoid the bananas and skip breakfast I could 'get the girl.' ;)

Warmly,

He I have never heard about it before and it is really interesting and new fact for me about bananas. I have to admit that it sound a little bit strange but maybe it is true. We would see in the future!
