最近网上出现了一种新鲜玩意儿,看上去很玄的美国货。英文名叫Intelligender,中文名叫验胎灵。它的宣传语是这样的:
美国Intelligender胎儿性别测试杯,准妈妈怀孕10周即可测试婴儿性别!!准确率高达90%以上! 怀孕10周,即是胚胎形成的初期,B超是无法判定其性别的,而美国Intelligender胎儿性别测试杯的优势正在于其预测的及时性和准确率。
每一个准妈妈和准爸爸都迫不及待地想知道自己将会拥有一个男宝宝还是女宝宝,10个月的等待实在过于漫长!而B超的鉴定又需要胎儿成型之后,不但对胎儿有射线的伤害,且在国内属违规。美国Intelligender胎儿性别测试杯,自己在家即可亲自测试,既简单便捷,又安全准确!
Intelligender是美国科学家最新研制的胎儿性别试杯,只需短短10分钟,就能提前揭晓答案!
试杯的使用非常简单,就跟早孕试纸一样用,怀孕10周以上的妇女即可使用,孕周越大准确率越高。检测结果为绿色预测你将拥有一个男宝宝;橙色预测你将拥有一个女宝宝。
再也不用去医院托熟人做B超了,不用欠人情,也不用担心BB受到射线的伤害和感到不适!
这种玩意儿靠谱吗?老衲去FDA网站上查了下,诶?还真有这东西,搜遍FDA网站,发现一条相关信息。居然是在生产厂家与用户设备器械经验数据库MAUDE的不良反应报告里。

说的是啥呢?原来是一个人在用这个玩意儿的时候不知怎的被灼伤了胳膊和手。这时候她,应该是她吧,才发现这包装和说明书上根本没说里面是啥玩意儿。差不多是个三无产品。
继续谷歌这个神奇的东西。发现绝大多数的信息居然是中文的,仅有的几个英文信息(除了产品宣传网站外)来自一些孕婴论坛。一看不得了,这国外的准妈妈们科学素养就是高。
比如:
I THINK I FOUND OUT HOW INTELLIGENDER WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

dawnklasenOk laides. I bought a few of the intelligender sex prediction kits. You pee in a cup and if it turns green, its a boy. If it turns yellow/orange, its a girl. This test is nothing more then a PH test!!!!!!!!!! I took the first test and got a dark green result. My urine is alkline which we all know, favors a baby boy. I went ahead and changed my PH to acidic by taking cranberry... I brought my urine PH down to a 5 and guess what!?? I did the test again, and I got a girl result. Acidic PH favors girl conceptions. Thnik about the PH test strips you used. Green or blue means alkline (boy) and yellow/orange is acidic (girl) Save your money ladies as this test is nothing but a very expensive PH test. |
简单说呢,就是这个Dawnklasen女士发现,她花了好多美刀买的这玩意,居然是PH试纸!哇,我这里还有很多精密PH试纸,有人要不?
这儿还有:

Intelligender Test
I tried searching to see if there were any posts about this, but didn't see anything--so if there is a thread somewhere, I'm sorry! I just saw this test mentioned in an article today and checked out the website. Has anyone tried it? It's an at-home urine test that supposedly tells you the gender of the baby. The site says it's "over 90% accurate" and can be used anytime from week 10 on. I think it's an interesting concept (and could conceivably prevent unnecessary ultrasounds), but I have no idea if it actually works! I'd be interested to hear what you think. Waste of money, interesting experiment, useful tool? I'll be at 12 weeks when we close on our new house, so part of me wants to give it a try in case that influences our painting plans, but hubby's reaction was, "That's stupid, we're not paying $35 for that!" I guess I could ask for it for my birthday. So what are your thoughts? If you've tried it, did it work (or do you think it worked, if you don't know for sure yet)? If you haven't, would you consider it? |

My instinct tells me it's a scam, because those tests often are and I couldn't find any studies online that backed it up. If I see any evidence to the contrary, though, I'll buy one! It's a cool idea. |

I couldn't find anything on the site that explained exactly WHAT it's testing for, which seemed a bit odd. I may mention it to my midwife in February and see what she thinks. And hey, maybe I'll give it a try and let everyone know! |

Check this out.. there is a lot of info on this thread. It looks like Intelligender has a decent success rate.. seems if they say girl it is but if it says boy it might be a girl.. |

just an fyi -- there are currently a *lot* of lawsuits pending against them for refusing to refund $$ if/when they're wrong, false advertising, etc. |
这个就不仅仅是实验党了。前头有人问这东西。后头的几个姐妹表现出了很高的科学精神。一个说,她找不到理论依据。第二位同样表示在这东西的网站上找不到理论支持,打算去咨询自己的助产士。第三位去搜了下别人发表的文章,发现这东西的错误率很高(最多50%嘛)。第四个看来是内部人士,说这个公司已经吃了不少官司了。
最后我再从理论上给它一刀吧。看这种玩意儿的宣传,说自己通过检测孕妇尿中的激素水平来判断胎儿的性别。的确,不同性别的胎宝宝体内的各种性激素水平就是不一样,但是呢,这个差异体现在孕妈妈的尿液中时,会被孕妈妈自身性激素水平的波动所掩盖,因此从理论上也是站不住脚的。


































哈哈哈,现在的骗子....什么都敢来啊
哇哈哈,笑死俺鸟,那个Dawnklasen女士写的逗死了,一会儿验出个男的,一会儿验出个女的~~~~~~~~~
太不靠谱了吧……
pH试纸~?~?~?
灵感来自古老的中国的酸而辣女咩~~~!~?
挑刺:B超和射线貌似没有关系吧……
这个是引用的宣传语吧……
为什么吃了cranberry以后尿液就是 酸性的。。。。。
请教下瘦驼,经常听人说碱性环境有利于生男孩,搜索引擎里也满是此类所谓秘笈,请问此说法是否有理论和实验数据的支撑?
啥叫碱性环境啊?
指精子在女性体内时周围的体液环境呈碱性
医学版里有好几篇关于分析受孕和胎儿性别的文章。总的来说就是没什么关系。第一,所谓的人的酸碱体质其实是不科学的说法,人身体有自动的平衡系统,会把酸碱度保存在一定的状态的。
第二,Y染色体周围的体液确实碱性会比较高,但不代表Y染色体在碱性环境下存活率高进而推断出碱性环境利于生日子。
谢谢周大的热心解答。不知您是否能给出比较权威的论证这个问题的论文?这样下次我在面对此等伪科学言论时就不至于底气不足了
搞笑……为啥会被灼伤呢?
那上面说的是chemical burns ,应该是腐蚀烧伤。那里面有太多的化学品。
心态摆正
百度不侵
管你什么冬瓜豆腐洋葱绿豆月见草橄榄油
对啊怎么会灼伤呢?
真是广告害死人,我们是不是以后要向老外学习万事刨根问底!
而B超的鉴定又需要胎儿成型之后,不但对胎儿有射线的伤害,且在国内属违规。美国Intelligender胎儿性别测试杯,自己在家即可亲自测试,既简单便捷,又安全准确!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
我也想说ultrasound不是射线吧。不过这个错误很多人会犯,我的牙医那天还说他老婆去做ultrasound,吃辐射了。
另外, intelligender好像明确说紧张他们的产品在中国销售和使用,尊重中国法律。
其实这东西在美国真不是当作正经男女预测用的。很多时候就是朋友送来送去当作一种好玩的东西。 反正到时候大B超都会知道男女
在首页上看缩略图,还以为是美女pp,结果进来一看,是dd,汗。。
淮北为枳淮南为橘啊~国外没景气的玩意到了天朝发扬光大……
by the way~祝愿瘦驼老师的爱子早日平安降生喔~
好骗术。在美国注册一个产品,然后转内销。正确率一般高达50%呢。
应该也就是卖一阵算一阵,一阵完了过两年换个噱头继续来~
B 超应该没啥害处,跟射线无关。专业人士应该审核 一下
这个是它的宣传。
“而B超的鉴定又需要胎儿成型之后,不但对胎儿有射线的伤害。”
这里是一个明显的错误。
跟把脉判断男女差不多
学习了
很好的文章,哈哈。科学的讲,超声对胎儿没有辐射的,改正哦!(我是学超声专业的)
Intelligender 几年前在美国开始卖这个 现在大多数药店都有卖的 大概$30-35。但是没人知道具体原理。公司的网页上说不是测PH. http://www.intelligender.com/gender-prediction-test-faqs.html.
cnn一年前作过个报道 (http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/06/09/gender.prediction.test/index.html ). 说是不卖印度和中国。
cnn自己测的是80%,公司说实际操作时准确率82%。
