ABOUT WOMEN:

` Women who eat lots of whole-grain foods can significantly reduce their risk of strokes - Those who ate the most whole grains, the equivalent of two to three slices of whole-grain bread daily were 30 percent to 40 percent less likely to have an ischemic stroke than women who ate less than half a slice or the equivalent daily.

` Based on the total number of people tested since IQ tests were devised, women have a slightly higher average IQ than men.

` Studies by Dr. Karl F. Robinson of Northwestern University reportedly prove that men change their minds two or three times more often than do women.

` On average women say 7,000 words per day. Men manage just over 2000.

` Women really do get drunk quicker than men. The reason for this is because women's bodies are 58 percent water where a man's is 70 percent water. The extra water that the man has in his body actually dilutes the alcohol.

` Grapefruit scent will make middle aged women appear six years younger to men. The perception is not reciprocal and the grapefruit scent on men has no effect on women's perception.

` Whether women actually need more sleep than do men is not the point. The point is they take more sleep- ordinarily, an average of 52 minutes more during each 24 hours- according to a recent survey.

` Women can talk longer with less effort than can men. That has been proved repeatedly. Why? Because the vocal cords of women are shorter than those of men and so release less air through them to carry the sound. It's all a matter of breathing.
