DR. ATKINS: CLOSET MISOGYNIST
Carl Zimmer of Corante posts about recent confirmation of the factors that may lead to sex skewing:
Mothers eating a high-fat diet (which probably led to high levels of glucose) gave birth to litters with two sons for every daughter. Mothers eating high-carb diets produced about one son for every two daughters.(Via Gene Expression). Sounds like today's über-diet is going to cause a gal shortage in coming years.
