Simple question.
Why does SmartPlanet put across many supposed Evidence Based Research Articles, only to find out the evidence is of poor quality, badly researched, without much credible peer review and full on Zombie Statistics.
... The recent articles on Early Life Eunach's being a proxy for being a woman and having a longer life expectancy due to lower testosterone levels is a good example. It was an pretty good example of Cherry Picking an answer you went looking for, with little real discussion on other impacting factors on the general fact men have a lower life expectancy women.
A balance to this article would be the discrepancy of Gender expectancies between very comparable countries.
Why for example does the USA rank so poorly in global life expectancy amongst peer countries. We keen getting beaten up in discussions by Republican Agenda advocates that the UK's 'socialist' NHS is vastly inferior to the USA's Private Insurance based one. The stats do not seem to substantiate this.
