Although   250 sets of twins have been officially registered in the village Dr   Sribiju believes the real number to be far higher. "In my medical   opinion there are around 300 to 350 twins within the village boundaries   of Kodinhi," he said<img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_ieVs2vtEEBk/S8k6JDiFG9I/AAAAAAAAAMY/8SLq97POgJA/s800/1.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />According to villagers, the twin phenomenon only started occurring   three generations ago. Dr Sribiju said: "To the best of my knowledge   this medical marvel began somewhere between 60 to 70 years ago"<img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ieVs2vtEEBk/S8k6O4RjMxI/AAAAAAAAAMc/JYRHIzG0CZg/s800/1.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ieVs2vtEEBk/S8k6ruMU65I/AAAAAAAAAM4/bzpm99B3fxk/s800/1.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ieVs2vtEEBk/S8k68B1jOEI/AAAAAAAAANU/9u_k_Tp4VDA/s800/1.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Without access to detailed biochemical analysis   equipment I cannot say for certain what the reason for the twinning  is,  but I feel that it is something to do with what the villagers eat  and  drink"</blockquote>
