What you eat influences the sex of your baby

When it comes to cravings, are you more of a sweet or salty person? It seems like a fairly frivilous question, but it could affect the gender of your future children. Seriously! It seems like an old wives tale but recent studies have proved that there might be some merit to this.

Here's the deal: If you crave things like salty snacks and red meat, your more likely to produce a boy. But, if you crave sweets and tend to eat more chocolate and sugary snacks, you're more likely to have a girl. Kind of gives meaning to the old nursery rhyme: Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what girls are made of; snakes and snails and puppy dog tails, that's what boys are made of.

What do you think about these results?
