Research by James Higham, of Roehampton University, and colleagues has found that the plum is a source of progestogen, and that eating it stops the female olive baboons' reproductive cycles. It also prevented the red swelling that female baboons produce when they are receptive to males. Dr Higham, who published the study in Hormones and Behaviour, said that it was difficult to know if the behaviour was deliberate.
