Women, The Death of Me

New studies have found that on a biological level arguments better martial partners have a more damaging effect on men then on women. This new study states that when men and women argue with one another the brain releases a cocktail of stress hormones called cytokines which are released by the immune system. High levels of these hormones are linked and known to cause serious medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, arthritis and some cancers. The most interesting part about this study is that depending on how rational or emotional a argument is determines your body's effectiveness of getting rid of these cytokines. The thing is...men show a increased long term storage of these hormones and for some reason which has not been discovered yet, women do not. So the question lies, are women better at communicating or just luckier in the biological lottery?
