sugar helps bind sperm to egg!!
Sounds simple, but I believe this is a BIG step forward in unraveling the riddle of gender ratio. Ions, timing, pH is all speculative but this sugar-coated egg seems to have been actually observed in the lab to matter. No evidence that it matters for gender ratio but I wouldn't be surprised if it does...since we know for a fact that XX and XY fertilized eggs develop better or worse in different levels of glucose, it makes a lot of sense that a mechanism would have evolved that would help ensure a sperm of the "right" gender met the egg to optimize the bean's chances at survival.

ELP, it's also present on sperm (that SLex sugar is present in most/all cells actually so that's no surprise) and there are several studies about it, but I"m buried right now. I hope to have it put together soon.

Yes, I read that too and that was just a rude remark. All eggs have this sugar on them and it has nothing to do with obesity, drinking, etc (although those things may sway!)
I don't KNOW that it will help with gender swaying, but I just suspect that it might.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Very interesting!!
I was planing to eat gummy bears ( because of the gelatin) around O and after O in the 2WW because of the sugar and boy swimmers theory. But No I think I eat some from AF to sugar coat my egg lol. ( not much just some every day)
Now I know lot's of girl moms eat sugar too, but not me , with none of my girls . So just maybe it can help to get my boy.
What do you guys think of this??

As long as you eat protein with the sugar, it will help get a boy. I am not sure if the tiny amount of gelatin in gummy bears is enough protein but you can for sure eat some with meals and snacks.
