Abstract Synopsis
- The study suggests that a mother's diet before conception influences the sex of her baby, with higher energy intake increasing the likelihood of having a boy.
- The research found no link between the mother's diet during pregnancy and the baby's sex, indicating that the mother's preconception diet plays a crucial role in sex allocation.
- These findings support the idea that when resources are abundant, mothers may be more likely to produce male offspring, which could explain changing sex ratios in industrialized countries and inform practices in fertility treatments.]
