New Study?

Hey all,

I saw this random study today- while searching for something else-

http://www.abc.net.au/rural/nsw/cont...8/s3296591.htm

Apparently, more oats fed to ewes led to more female offspring. Interesting!

But, maybe it isn't new- just chiming in.

that's interesting! I think humans eating oats sways blue, though...

As with everything, there are a lot of factors going on there (including what else the ewes were eating and what they were eating before they started eating the oats.).

I think oats are one of the best 'boy foods' out there because they raise testosterone.

But it's still very interesting, thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!

Hope it's not true for us because we are taking oat capsules!:worry:
But Im not a cow just will look like one soon!

Interesting!! TFS!

Don't put too much stock into it...I would NOT stop eating oats because of this (or start if I was a pink swayer!!)

I was about to run to the store for oats... I will stick to coffee in the am!

I hope I didn't cause any problems! Lol. But, it is interesting to see that swaying can happen through diet! That was my hope.

:)

No, not at all Spicy! I love to have new info but I just hope that everyone keeps in mind how vague a lot of these studies are.

I promise that if ANYONE, human, ewe, bat, rat, or cat, went from eating a balanced diet to eating nothing but oats, they're gonna be swaying pink. That doesn't mean that oats are not a good blue food, because they clearly are.

There are no magic foods - you can conceive a girl eating roast beast and a boy eating cranberries and milk, because it's what is going on inside your body that sways and not what you put into your mouth. Any time you switch from a balanced diet with lots of variety of heathy and nutritious foods, to a limited diet based only around a few foods (esp. when those foods are CARBS) you are going to be swaying pink.
