TYPICALLY, providing medical advice to pregnant women doesn't extend to the colour of the snacks they are eating, however one mum from England thinks maybe it should.
Emelia Jackson, 23, is obsessed with gorging on spicy Cheetos, a habit she is convinced delivered her newborn son's fiery red hair.
"Throughout my pregnancy, flaming hot Cheetos were all I ever wanted..I'd even wake my boyfriend up in the middle of the night to go get me some because the cravings were so intense," an orange-faced Jackson said.
The chip addict even went so far as to pose in a bath full of Cheetos instead of milk to celebrate the final weeks of her pregnancy.
Medical experts are sceptical about the woman's hair colour claim, however, they remain open to the prospect that the 320 family-sized bags of Cheetos she consumed during the pregnancy made the baby pretty darn thirsty.
