BBC news story - breakfast determins sex of baby


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7358384.stm
This all seems a little silly to me....isnt it all to do with Xs and Ys?

I thought the sex was determined by the Dad's sperm?!

Arent all eggs XX? i.e a girl? Doesnt the gender of the baby depend on whether the sperm brings in boy or gril chromosomes? (XX or XY?..)

I dunno...maybe i didnt pay enough attention in genetics class

Sorry I'm laughing, I just read the percentages (56% and 45%) and the calorie intake difference (200 calories)

I could understand if the difference was 1000 calories and the %'s were 90% or 10%..

I never eat breakfast, & never have, & I had a girl.. but I also eat a high calorie diet so I doubt there's much truth behind it.
