Whether the baby in the womb of expectant mothers is male or female should be a good topic among most expectant mothers. One day, a pregnant mother may tell you that she heard that alcohol testing can be used to test boys and girls. Hearing this, you may feel itchy and want to take the test. But can alcohol test students be male or female?
The principle of alcohol testing for male and female students
The principle of alcohol testing for male and female babies is to use the reaction between pregnant women's urine and alcohol to determine the acidity or alkalinity of urine, thereby inferring the birth of male and female babies.
The scientific name for alcohol is ethanol, with the chemical formula C2H5OH. The "- OH" (organic hydroxyl group) in it can easily form flocs when combined with alkaline liquids, and precipitate when combined with acidic liquids. During pregnancy, due to the gender of the fetus, the hormones secreted in the body are also different. When pregnant with a male fetus, the pregnant woman's constitution is alkaline, while when pregnant with a female fetus, the constitution is acidic.
This characteristic can affect the acidity or alkalinity of urine, therefore, the reaction between alcohol and urine can be used to infer the acidity or alkalinity of urine, and thus infer the birth of males and females. This method sounds reasonable and well founded, but can alcohol testing be accurate for male and female students?
Alcohol test students are not allowed to be male or female
Alcohol testing for male and female students uses the reaction products between alcohol and urine to determine the acidity and alkalinity of urine, thus determining the gender of male and female students. However, the acidity and alkalinity of urine are influenced by many factors, so this method is not reliable. The decision to have a male or female child is based on various factors such as the environment inside the fertilized person's body, the survival rate of sperm, and the combination of fertilized eggs.
The gender of a fetus is determined by the sex chromosomes it carries, with females carrying xx and males carrying xy. Eggs carry x, while sperm are divided into x and y. If a fertilized egg combines to form xx, it becomes a girl, and if a fertilized egg combines to form xy, it becomes a boy. If boys and girls are born solely based on alcohol testing, then various scientific testing methods such as B-ultrasound and blood tests are no longer needed.
So, the alcohol test for male and female students has no scientific basis, so there is no margin for accuracy because it has no scientific basis at all.
The human body has a complex physiological structure, and the acid-base balance of the body is controlled by multiple organs. It will not become "alkaline" or "acidic" due to diet or pregnancy. Generally speaking, human urine tends to be weakly acidic, while alkaline urine is more common in some kidney diseases. In other words, there is no basis for determining the gender of a baby by testing the acidity or alkalinity of urine.
So, expectant parents who want to give birth to boys and girls can use alcohol testing to test their behavior. Actually, when it's time for a pregnant mother to go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, the doctor will tell you the gender of the fetus, and it's not too late to prepare the baby's clothes then.
