The short answer from me is yes. All foods cause hormonal changes in our body and can effect gene transcription. Men and women handle foods differently and the diseases they get have commonalities but there are striking differences as well. My belief is it all based upon the difference in how we partion energy hormonally and it starts with leptin. Women genetically have higher levels of leptin for child bearing and wear where they store it and and the type of fat in their buttock and hips differs dramatically from men. Moreover, that is the reason why our hip to waist ratio's differ dramatically and why men are drawn to female with 0.7 H/W ration regardless of era. Infact that vision is enough to raise a man's testosterone level. It is inborn to our genetics because evolution has told men that women with 0.7 h/W H/W ratio have higher DHA and EPA and make babies with big and better brains.
