Scientists at Stanford University released a study today showing that men who regularly eat grits are 70 percent more likely to have gay children.
The prospective cohort study, published in Nature Medicine, followed 15,000 volunteers for 30 years to determine the influence of parental diet on the development of childhood illnesses.
Although the study did find some connection between the maternal intake of sugar during pregnancy and childhood obesity, the most surprising finding was that fathers who ate grits had a much greater chance of having a gay child.
“We were shocked when we ran the data,” says Edmund Bergler, the lead researcher on the project.
"But we controlled for every variable. We triple-checked every calculation. And it turned out that eating grits makes your kids gay.”
