Mari,

i understand the explanation, incl the part you bolded. obviously i don't know to what degree it is accurate or how it might have been demonstrated. the explanation is very general, yes, but something more specific would practically have to be an article in a medical journal or the abstract to it, which would likely be "all greek" to the vast majority of the general public, male and female.

Did the article give any references (that would have been nice) as to where this "more recent explanation" came from so we can look into it further?

Do you still have a link to the article (assuming it was online)? i'm just going to do a keyword search for the moment.... EDIT --> SCRATCH THAT i found the article....
