I think your info on sweet potatoes increasing the possibility of having twins requires some medical research...most often (other than taking meds to conceive)...twins & other multiple births are hereditary...often skip a generation.- coming from a family of 11 children & having cousins & neighbours who had 13 or 15 children....I am speaking from experience & not from a medical degree. My father was a twin & I have noticed that in twins one if more dominant that the other health wise (two of my siblings had twins & one has twin grandtrs.). My nephew & Godchild & his wife just gave birth to twins in Sept (premature at only ove 3 lbs each)...they are both doing well now. THANK GOD....I believe each child is a Gift from GOD!!
i have also read preliminary research indicating that sweet potatoes may increase the chances of conceiving twins! albeit, this was assuming a diet based significantly on sweet potatoes and their derivatives.
