Girl or Boy - The Drano Test

The Truth

Truth: The drano test supposedly can detect something in a pregnant woman's urine that will change the color of the drano to indicate the gender of the baby. However, this is absolutely false. In addition to that, I must warn you that it is extremely dangerous to mix urine and drano. When they did studies at the medical school here on this test they wore chemical masks and did them under chemical hoods because of the possibility of fumes and of explosion. Currently we know of nothing that is excreted in a pregnant woman's urine to be able for us to predict the gender of her baby. -- Robin Weiss
