  1. Societies in which morning sickness was not observed will be significantly more likely to have (i) only plants as a food staple, (ii) corn as a staple, and (iii) corn as the only staple than societies in which morning sickness was observed (129).Flaxman, Samuel M. - Morning sickness: a mechanism for protecting mother and embryo, 2000 - 4 Variables

    Pregnancy sickness is characterized by nausea, vomiting, and food aversions during pregnancy, particularly during the first trimester. Previous work has asserted an adaptationist explanation for this phenomenon: pregnancy sickness protects the embryo from the toxic compounds found in many foods via expulsion (i.e., vomiting) of potentially dangerous foods and by encouraging aversions to foods likely to harbor toxins or pathogens. The authors reexamine 27 small-scale societies previously investigated by Minturn and Weiher (1984) for evidence of pregnancy sickness and food aversions in light of the fetal protection hypotheses.

  2. Morning sickness will be negatively associated with eating maize as a staple food (72).Minturn, Leigh - The influence of diet on morning sickness: a cross-cultural study, 1984 - 2 Variables

    This article proposes that differences in diet may account for the presence or absence of morning sickness in a society. Data suggest that morning sickness is not a universal symptom of pregnancy, and there are significant differences in foods consumed where morning sickness does not occur, including more maize, fats, and vegetables.

  8. The presence of absence of morning sickness will be related to the presence of absence of food taboos and similarly for food cravings (72).Minturn, Leigh - The influence of diet on morning sickness: a cross-cultural study, 1984 - 0 Variables

  9. Populations that eat more plants than animals are more likely to use salt as a condiment (127, 134).Parman, Susan - Lot's wife and the old salt: cross-cultural comparisons of attitudes toward ..., 2002 - 2 Variables

    This article examines attitudes toward salt as a cultural mechanism to regulate salt consumption, finding that meat-eating societies (associated with higher salt consumption) have more negative proverbs and other forms of cultural expression associated with salt, and societies with plant-based diets (associated with lower salt consumption) have more positive cultural expressions.
