Science Debunks Myth: Women Don't Store DNA From Past Partners

A common myth circulating online claims that women retain the DNA of all their sexual partners, influencing the genetics of their future children. This is false, according to science communicator Farmaceuticofernandez, whose recent video debunks this misconception. The myth, he explains, arises from a misinterpretation of research on microchimerism, a phenomenon where genetic material can remain after pregnancy but not sexual intercourse. "Eso no es ciencia, es fanfic," states Fernandez, highlighting the lack of scientific evidence supporting the claim. The video has garnered significant attention, with thousands of views and hundreds of comments, indicating a high level of public interest in this topic. The video's success underscores the need for accurate scientific information to combat the spread of misinformation online.
