Dairy product tie to having twins

 

New research suggests that a diet high in dairy products can greatly increase a woman's chances of having twins.

 

A study in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine showed milk drinkers were five times more likely to have twins than women who ate no animal products.

 

The numbers of twins in the world has increased significantly in the past 30 years, in some countries by over 50%.

 

Scientists have suggested fertility treatments and women delaying pregnancy can help explain the rise.

 

But this new research indicates that diet can also play an important part.

 

Ovaries stimulated

 

In the study, the twinning rates of women who ate a diet including milk were compared with women who followed a vegan, or no animal products diet.

 

It is believed that a protein found in the livers of animals may be the cause. Called Insulin-like Growth Factor or IGF, it is found in cow's milk and other animal products.

 

In women it makes the ovaries more sensitive and increases the number of eggs produced. Higher levels of IGF improve the survival chances of an embryo in the early stages of development.

 

The effect is likely to be greater in countries such as the United States that allow growth hormones to be fed to cattle.

 

The researcher behind this study says that women thinking of getting pregnant might consider alternatives to meat and dairy products to reduce their chances of having twins, as multiple births are more prone to complications.

It's two-cool to have twins. By the way, isn't twinning sometimes hereditary too?

 

If I could, I'd have twins..instant family, one shot deal.

Wouldn't that be lovely Bishita? I'm sure it comes at a price though.

I thought it had more to do with hereditary, but I suppose they have to start somewhere.

There was this neighbor that had identical twins. So much alike that the mother had to mark one of the two boys by cutting a small piece from one of ears. We used to call him Dhegjar. They talked, walked and yes behaved like one another. You wouldn't tell apart unless you look which one was Dhegjar and which wasn't.

Yup. Double diapers, double crying, double burping double clothes, double the laundry.. double stroller, double everything. Oh such a wonderful thing!

^^ Yeah, it would definitely be tough for the first few years, but once they're in school, it's OK. Then you'll have twice the amount of help around the house. One of them can do the dishes, the other one can clean up the florr and do the vaccuuming, while you just sit there and watch!!

I think it would be lovely having twins.But the confusing thing about twins is figuring which one is which,but i think it comes natural for the mothers probably not the fathers.
