Ok I’ll bite, why just men being studied and reported on? Asking for a friend, ME??

I didn't read the article carefully enough to see, but if I had to hazard a guess, it could be because for women this might differ, depending on the timing in relation to the menstrual cycle?
Hopefully it was something similar that makes sense.

They suggest something like that in their discussion section - it would be a stronger paper with multiple sexes represented, though. Would be disappointing if "because hormones" was the reasoning behind the exclusion.

Yeah except far per se is not causal here, this is a 30+ year old perspective

To clarify, does this mean intake of both attributes combined? (ie, caloric sweet + fatty) Or can it be one or the other?

This highlights the importance of dynamics in medicine.

Future will be 4 dimensional medicine.

Wow.

This is upsetting since I “briefly intake high-calorie sweets” almost every day. 😣

Any and every study has significant value upon which to base the next study!
May explain decision deficits in men as they age and make worse decisions?
