American scientists have discovered that when it comes to favorite foods women car hardly say no.
During the study, 13 women and 10 men were asked about their favorite foods, and then they were asked to fast overnight. 

The next day, the participants underwent brain scans while being presented with their favorite foods. In addition, they used a technique called cognitive inhibition, which they had been taught, to suppress thoughts of hunger and eating.

The brain scans showed that men's brain activity actually decreased, while the part of women's brains that responds to food remained active.

One of the possible explanations could be that the traditional role of the female is to provide nutrition to children, and that's why the female brain must be hard-wired to eat when foods are available. //01.22.09
