What did your ancestors have for breakfast?
My ancestors generally had fewer sons than daughters, and recently
published research suggests that this may have been a result of their
diet.


The researchers studied the eating habits of 740 mothers who were
expecting their first child, and discovered that those with a higher
energy intake (especially breakfast cereals) were 20% more likely to give
birth to sons than those with a lower intake. The findings may help
explain the falling birth-rate of boys in industrialized countries,
including the UK and US.
