JG – take a closer look at that link you posted. On the left there is a “multimedia” graph and link. If you open it it clearly spells out that men’s higher incidences of heart disease may be related to higher percentage of tobacco and alcohol use. I bet if we searched for studies on eating habits, men would show higher percentages of overeating and excessive meat eating as well. All directly linked to heart disease… no mystery there!
In regards to incresing spending on women’s health issues research… well.. the pendulum swings. Historically, medical research did not even consider women. Almost all research was based on males, medical and psychological scientific research… so get over it. I entirely disagree with you…. Disproportionate coverage of women’s breast cancer research vs. men’s heart disease research does not equate to a “liberal” slant in scientific journals.
