LONDON, England (CNN) -- Women can influence the gender of their child with what they eat before they conceive, according to new research that lends scientific support to age-old superstitions about pregnancy.

The discovery shows higher calorie intake prior to conception can significantly increase the chances of having a son while women on restricted diets are more likely to produce daughters.

Scientists at Britain's Oxford and Exeter Universities, who studied eating habits of 740 women during their first-time pregnancies, say that their findings seem to back certain traditional links between diet and gender while disproving others.

"We were able to confirm the old wives' tale that eating bananas and so having a high potassium intake was associated with having a boy, as was a high sodium intake," research leader Fiona Mathews, a specialist in mammalian biology at Exeter University, told the Guardian newspaper.

Not specifically a banana, they are saying that higher calorie intake increases the chance of conceiving a male.

extra inches:thup::D

haha, oh are you sure ? never know the banana can have some mysterious power

but I dont think is about higher calorie at all and 740 women is nothing to confirm ,if they had one million females on the test then maybe can be really confirming it is the calorie who makes more baby boys
