That is why pregnant moms should not eat spicy food - Ayurveda

Yvonne, you are dominating the comment section please restrain yourself so other people can get good comments in too. ;)

Same here

AND???

Your mom ate a lot of a certain kind of food when YOU were pregnant?

Do you like spicy food now? My mom didn't go in for hot stuff while she was pregnant (before and after, sure, just not during) and I am a complete wuss when it comes to spicy heat.

It also will help with the leftovers.

Ignore me

Absolutely!!

A decent bra now is $30-40, if we had 3x as many boobs... good lord! Who could afford that!? lol

I never have but my sister definitely did.

I know I did, with both kids. But that's just a vote of one.

There are studies that show it may have to do with yam consumption. Not the yams that are also referred to as sweet potatoes in the US, but actual yams. (This naming error occurred during the slave trade and Africans called sweet potatoes by the name yam as it was the closest thing they had on their continent). I do not remember offhand why, but it has to do with the effect on hormone levels I believe.

Sweet potatoes, which are a greater staple of the diet in sub-Saharan Africa than anywhere else on Earth, contain a chemical that promote the release of multiple eggs during ovulation rather than the one per month that most women experience. The chemical extract has been used in fertility drugs in the West as well.

Scientists still do not know why. It is a theory that the lower birth age of the mother plays a factor in producing fraternal twins while the higher the age, the less likelihood of twins occurs.

because we believe two is better than one (jk i wonder the same thing but i can't find the answer)

I want to know too

Yams apparently

No definitive answer so far, but there are some possible explanations here http://www.livescience.com/16469-twins-countries-twinning-rates.html

Think evolution, more babys bigger chance to survive? You SEE this in all spices.. Low survival rate has more babys

because if you compare things, especially numbers, there is one, who has the most of all.
