Wait, wait, I'm confused:

slap my ass and call me Sally, and pass the avocado toast
Eating avocados and bananas does contribute to health, study shows, “but only for women”. Only for real women, or will changing his name entitle a transgender to take advantage of the benefits? It’s a real poser.
Conclusion
The association between potassium intake, SBP, and CVD events is sex specific. The data suggest that women with a high sodium intake in particular benefit most from a higher potassium intake with regard to SBP.
An analysis was performed in 11 267 men and 13 696 women from the EPIC-Norfolk cohort. Twenty-four hour excretion of sodium and potassium, reflecting intake, was estimated from sodium and potassium concentration in spot urine samples using the Kawasaki formula. Linear and Cox regression analyses showed that the association between potassium intake and both SBP and CVD risk is sex specific. Moreover, among women, the association between potassium intake and SBP was modified by sodium intake.

Incoming Supreme Court justice Jackson declined to comment on these findings, saying, “I’m just totally unqualified to have an opinion here”.
