  1. As stated by Stanford Medical, It's indeed the SINGLE reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh on average 19 kilos lighter than us.

    (Just so you know, it is not about genetics or some secret diet and EVERYTHING to do with "how" they are eating.)

    BTW, What I said is "HOW", not "WHAT"...
