Milk lovers give birth to twins

Recent studies have shown that women who consume a lot of dairy products have a greater chance of having twins. This statement caused a real sensation in the world of reproductive medicine. However, before we dive into the details, let's understand how twin pregnancies happen.

There are two types of twins: monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (fraternal). Monozygotic twins are formed when a single fertilized egg splits into two halves, each of which develops into its own embryo. Dizygotic twins, on the other hand, are formed when two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm.

Now let's return to the study about the connection between the consumption of dairy products and the likelihood of having twins. This study was published in the latest issue of The Journal of Reproductive Medicine. Scientists who conducted the study found that women who drink a lot of milk are five times more likely to conceive twins compared to those who drink less milk.

Researchers believe this may be due to the presence of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) in milk, which promotes ovarian development and increases the likelihood of producing multiple eggs in one cycle. This explains why women who drink a lot of milk may be more likely to have twins.

However, this does not mean that women who do not consume a lot of dairy products cannot have twins. It just increases the likelihood. In addition, it is worth remembering that the birth of twins may be associated with the risk of various complications, so you need to carefully consider your plans for the future and consult your doctor.

Overall, these new studies may be helpful for couples who are dreaming of having twins. However, like any other study, it requires further study and confirmation. In any case, the birth of twins is a special gift that requires special attention and care, but which can bring incredible joy and happiness.
