Women who skip breakfasts or are eating a low-calorie diet around the time of conception are less likely to have male children, according to new research. It's preliminary evidence that a woman's diet is linked to a baby's sex, <A href="http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSL2284780520080422" target="_blank">Reuters reports</A>. "This research may help to explain why in developed countries, where many young women choose to have low-calorie diets, the proportion of boys born is falling," Fiona Mathews of the University of Exeter told Reuters.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/2008/04/23/health-buzz-ozone-exposure-and-other-health-news.html">More information on pregnancy and women's health, including a detailed critique of the new study, can be found on the <EM>U.S. News</EM> <A href="http://www.usnews.com/blogs/on-women/index.html">On Women</A> blog.
