2Women digest food slower than men

According to gastroenterologists, food passes through the digestive system of a woman at a slower rate 1/5th than that of a man. Women have smaller stomachs and hence less stomach acid is produced to break down food. According to research by the American Clinical and Climatological Association, the slow digestive rate is also linked to oestrogen the female hormone that relaxes the colon and bowel.

Oestrogen also changes the composition of digestive bile produced by the gall bladder and thus contains less food dissolving salts. As per Dr Anton Manuel, a gastroenterologist at University College Hospital, London, The rate of the movement of food through the gut in women is slower by 20% which is also why women have fewer bowel movements than men. You can tell your man now that science also proves how men are so full of shit than women.
