Title: Can paleo diet influence the gender of a future child?
Post by: majormark on February 08, 2010, 02:43:51 pm

How could a paleo diet influence the gender of a future child?

Some time ago I talked to a nurse who told me that in the medical community they know specifically how to influence a child's gender. She told me this information will never be released to the public because it could cause imbalances in the female to male ratio.

Part of it may have to do with diet. Here are some findings:

Now, I think that this F/M ratio is not random at all and is somehow balanced out in a global sense.

This is pretty well known stuff.
Women who are well off and supported by well off men are more likely to have boys.
And poor women are more likely to have girls.
That's ... "more likely".

You can experiment.
If you are rich,  have a couple of kids with a well off woman.
Then have a couple of kids with poor women.

I believe this to be true.  ;)

And this is why as a parent you should give more assistance to your boys or else they amount to nothing.  Boys have the potential to give you a lot of grandchildren but you have to spend a lot on boys for capital first.

This could be due to nutritional deficiencies.

If we follow that logic it would mean that all paleo moms should make boys because this diet is the most nutritionally superior, right?

It doesn't exactly make sense.

Gender is determined during development by presence or absence of certain hormones. I'm assuming medical science could pretty easily control that presence or absence. Maybe eating a lot of some organs might influence it, especially testes or ovaries.

    I think you'd have to eat the ovaries or testes during and/or before conception.  Afterwards it would affect what gender they look like, but not what gender they genetically are.  That's my opinion, but I'm no scientist.

hmm the only image I can think of with this is some twisted version of the Seinfeld episode where George has an obsession with eating food during sex and sneaks whole sandwiches under the covers. which in paleo land becomes approaching from behind and sneaking bull testes out of a mason jar. Hoping in her pleasure she doesn't turn and see and ruin his dreams of fathering an all-star quarterback.  -X

    Lol.  

    I hope I didn't offend anyone.  Made me laugh.

    I didn't even picture it, was just trying to talk from a scientific or intuitive perspective, nothing concrete, just theory.

    I wonder who here would do the mason jar as described.  No, I don't need to know, I don't think.  

    I don't have a paleo partner, so I would be too concerned about offending him to try this in bed.  Plus, I don't care that much what gender I conceive when.  I think what's supposed to happen will happen if everyone all lets it.

    You men, you're so visual oriented (not that I'm not at times too).
