Don't forget you "eat" a good percentage of what goes on your body too. Generally at least 20% but with a number of factors that % can be significantly higher, 40 plus. I would bet much of your answer is right there. And of course too many women are shamed into using an abundance of those products and the crap they often contain. Many age a person quicker too, thus increasing reliance.

I have a feeling it is the food pyramid.
When I go to restaurants, it looks like women are ordering healthier than the men. Maybe there are other differences between the makeup of men/women beyond male/female.
Pasta=sugar
Bread=sugar
Potato =sugar
Coke=sugar (obvious)
And this is easily verifiable using a cheap blood glucose finger pricker.
blood fructose
But what about the statins? There is little proof they do in fact reduce risks of heat attacks. Could it be because heart attacks are not caused by high cholesterol?
People have low mid and high cholesterol all have artery damage.
It is sugar, bad oils, and carbs (sugar). Sugar spikes your insulin, and that leads to all sorts of bad things.
Does this mess with insulin? I assume it does.

There is alot for research that is s-l-o-w-e-l-y coming out that it is carbs that are bad. In fact if some one is to look at triglycerides, meat has very very little to do with raising them, or your cholesterol numbers, it is all carbs.
What to loose weight-lower cholesterol. Meat-broccoli-meat cauliflower-meat green beans..........

This is why diabetes is now becoming so prevalent, out cash crop food pyramid. It's a set up and lie, look at where the farm subsidies go.
Coconut oil is as good or better than a lot of the very expensive and dangerous products that are 100% safe.
In 2003, a group of researchers in France studying families with very high cholesterol levels and very early heart attacks discovered that PCSK9 was a cholesterol regulator, because they found that mutations in this gene seemed to be responsible for the very high cholesterol levels and the early heart attacks. These mutations are extremely rare and are limited to a few families.
But a research group in Texas discovered that about three percent of the population have different mutations in PCSK9 that have the opposite effect—those with the mutations have low-density lipoprotein (LDL or bad) cholesterol levels about 15 to 28 percent lower than the average level. And the people with that “good” defect have heart attack risks that range from about 47 to 88 percent below average.
“Our reasoning was that nature has already done the experiment; you have people who have won the genetic lottery,” said Musunuru. “They are protected from heart attack, and there are no known adverse consequences. So that led us to reason that if we could find a way to replicate this, we could significantly protect people from heart attack.”

The article I linked is about gene modification so that a person can have a better blood lipoprotein profile no matter what they eat.
Well, the thread is about the paths of least resistance or least will power.
Genetic modification might be simpler than fighting back the carb oriented munchies.
