Can drinking coconut water during pregnancy make the baby fair?

Question

My MIL keeps telling me to drink nariyal pani daily so the baby comes out fair. I drink it because its healthy anyway but is there any truth to this fairness thing? Curious what others have heard.

That's a myth, it's all genes. But coconut water is good for you anyway, drink it.

This is just an old myth honestly. Skin tone is decided by genetics, no drink can change it. Coconut water is healthy and hydrating, so enjoy it for the actual benefits, but don't expect it to make the baby fair.

No yaar, baby's colour comes from genes, not from any food. I drank tons of coconut water both pregnancies, didn't change anyone's complexion. It IS great for hydration and acidity though, so drink it for that reason, not for fairness.

My family also said this, but my doctor smiled and said it's not true, complexion is genetic. I still drank coconut water daily because it kept me fresh and hydrated. Drink it for health, not for the fairness belief.

Beta hum log bhi yeh sunte the, par sach to genes hi decide karte hain. Nariyal paani pina achha hai sehat ke liye, garmi aur acidity mein rahat deta hai. Par fair-dark waali baat sirf kahani hai.
