Body Knowledge: Cold Hands, Warm Core?
The cooler temps of late Autumn spark what we call in our house the thermostat wars. Although the preferred temps in my home seem to vary greatly by gender, there is no clear-cut answer which sex tolerates cold better. Studies have found that women have a higher core temperature than men, but colder hands.
Do You Eat Less in the Company of Men?
A recent study conducted in three university dining halls found that women changed their food choices depending on the gender of their companions.
When eating one-on-one with a guy, the girls ate foods that contained significantly fewer calories than when eating with female companions. The study found a couple more examples of behavior worth noting that were published in the journal Appetite:
Overall, group size was not a significant predictor of calories, but women's calories were negatively predicted by numbers of men in the group, while the numbers of women in the group had a marginally significant positive impact on calorie estimates.
Who Is Germier?
We all know that women and men are different, right down to our pinkie fingers. Researchers from the University of Colorado examined many hands and found a distinct difference between men's and women's palms. That difference was germs.
Soccer, Quads, and Knees
Although, we have all known for a long time that men are from Mars and women from Venus, the scientific community is just figuring out that we're different.

News Alert: Men and Women Are Different, Exercise Wise Too
Physiologically speaking, women and men are different – no real news flash there, but these differences even affect how we exercise and they haven't been studied for very long.

About 15 years ago researchers began to study the female body in motion (FYI: Title IX passed over 35 years ago).

The Gender Gap Is Shrinking — Except at the Top
It turns out, the difference between men and women's salaries is smaller than we thought — as long as those salaries aren’t very big to begin with. A new study from PayScale.com compared salaries across 90 different jobs, adjusting for any outside factors that might affect the salary (the location of the job, the worker’s education, etc.) except for the worker’s gender. What they found was surprising — to see the results, read on.
babysugar Diaries: Gender Difference
Random people always want to take a guess at a baby-to-be's gender based on the expecting mother's girth, fullness of face, morning sickness, or other factors. There may be some truth to those pregnancy myths, but I decided to be surprised in the delivery room. Now that I'm on the other side, I can look back and see differences between my pregnancies.
Behind the Iron Curtain: Was Sex Better Before the Wall's Fall?
Life may be better since the fall of the Berlin Wall, but is sex? It was at first. Prostitutes came in vans, porn was everywhere, and sex shops opened like wine bars in a gentrifying neighborhood.
