That men eat live or six per cent morn than women not because they urn gluttons, hut because they actually reipilrn that much more nourishment -appears as a result of an Investlgii-tlon Investlgii-tlon made In tho nutrition laboratory of tho Carnegie Institute at Washington Washing-ton by Francis G. Henedlct nnd L. K. Karnes, says tho Literary Digest. Tho reason for the discrepancy seems to he that women have a smaller proportion propor-tion of active tissues than men of the samo weight and more Inactive material, such ns fat. The Investigation Investiga-tion disclosed that the average woman wom-an generates only l.llfifi heat units In tho 11 1 hours, as against 1 ,G :t S produced pro-duced by the man, or about two per cent more for tho hitler per pound of body weight. When groups were compared, com-pared, lifter careful selection of Individuals Indi-viduals of Hourly the same height nnd welghl, the men were found to pro duce about 12 per cent more heat than women. |
