There was a news incident in Fujian that attracted attention. After giving birth to a black baby, a pregnant woman was questioned by her husband for cheating, but the woman claimed that it was caused by excessive consumption of soy sauce during pregnancy. As soon as this unbelievable statement came out, it immediately set off a heated discussion on the Internet.
As witnesses to this incident, we can't help but wonder how a person's physical characteristics are formed, whether the fetal period is influenced by the diet of the pregnant woman, or is it just such an absurd excuse?
It is a well-known fact that the physical characteristics of a person are mainly determined by genetics. The genes of both parents are recombined and follow the "law of segmentation", which eventually forms the characteristics of the fetal period. However, this law of inheritance is not entirely rigid.
A growing body of research has shown that the diet of pregnant women also has an impact on fetal development. For example, the intake of fatty acids will promote the development of the optic nerve and brain in infants;
Folic acid deficiency can lead to neural tube defects. However, this influence is mainly reflected in phylogeny, and it is difficult to form a decisive influence on a particular trait.
So, why did the pregnant woman insist that soy sauce caused the baby's skin tone to darken? The author believes that this may be a psychological self-protection mechanism. Faced with her husband's accusations of cheating, the mother was anxious to prove her innocence.
However, the genetic explanation is too abstract for the husband to understand and accept. So, she seized on a pregnancy habit as "evidence", hoping to justify herself. This absurd logic, although untenable, reflects the mother's strong desire to prove.
A paternity test can easily prove the biological father of a baby. But before that, we should pay more attention to the crisis of trust in the couple's relationship. Once suspicion takes root, the relationship between husband and wife can easily break down.
As bystanders of the family, we need to be optimistic, believe in the power of blood, and give them time to repair the rifts. There will always be incredible things in life, and only tolerance and trust can resolve misunderstandings and usher in beauty.
The relationship between diet and fetal development during pregnancy has always been a research hotspot. With the advancement of science and technology, more and more influencing factors have been discovered. However, there is no conclusive evidence that foods such as soy sauce determine a baby's skin color.
As experts point out, soy sauce, while rich in nutrients, is unlikely to change skin tone alone. Therefore, we should regard this absurd statement as a kind of psychological self-help.
In addition to genetics and diet, a variety of environmental factors can also affect the skin color of the fetus. For example, exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays stimulates melanin production; Malnutrition can also lead to dry, dark brown skin. The reasons for the darkening of the baby's skin tone are likely to be multifaceted. We can't simply blame a mother for a certain behavior.
The courage to doubt authority and not to believe absurd rumors are the most needed qualities of our time. In the face of unexplained phenomena, we must remain rational and scientific, and seek the truth instead of creating panic. We must also learn to understand and tolerate the weakness and helplessness of others. The world needs more warmth and care, not suspicion and isolation.
Behind an absurd explanation, there may be a mother's helplessness and a family's predicament. We should not turn our noses up, but be understanding. Because there is a need for warmth, not ridicule, everywhere in life. Thank you for reading, and let's work together to create a more inclusive society.
