It has been brought to our attention that salt may be a contributing factor in lesbianism.
A high intake of salt, in Nordic countries produces a higher volume of butch looking women when compared to Mediterranean countries for example, where the salt intake is not as high. Nordic countries traditionally use a lot of salt to preserve their foods, where as in the countries of southern Europe, the salt ratio in the diet is lower. This explains why there are higher volumes of lesbians in Northern Europe compared to Southern Europe. It also explains the high incidence of PCOS amongst lesbians who generally eat a lot of salt. Too much salt messes with estrogen production, causing adverse reactions such as those experienced by poly-cystic ovary syndrome sufferers. There is not enough evidence to comment on the situation outside of Europe at this point.
I do not see the correlation between lesbians and salt. Its just daft to suggest a lesbian would eat more salt than anyone else...the cultural component I would agree with you on.
