The title of this article caught my eye immediately because it goes against everything that I have been taught in school. However, after reading the article it paints a clear picture of the author's issue. She states that the foods that the mother eats may affect the sperm at the time of conception. Studies have shown a high glucose concentration in male embryos that is not there in females. Throughout the entire article, the author states facts and studies which helps her credibility. Yet, she was willing to voice her doubts which made her even more trustworthy. She wrote the article in a clear, concise manner so that everyone could understand her purpose. I would recommend this article to someone as it was very interesting and raised many questions.

This sounds like a really well written article. It's good that she voiced her doubts in her article.
Showing both sides of an argument are helpful to the author's purpose. It leaves the reader with a feeling that clearly the author was just giving the issue and facts about it. The title is also very catchy; it definitely pulls the reader in.
