" I think it&amp;#x27;s pretty acceptable to say that women consider themselves to be the cleaner sex. After all, we notice when the bathroom needs cleaning (guys? Not so much)! But we better stop gloating say researchers--men may actually be cleaner than us. Yeah, I did a double take too. The shocking details after the jump ...**** A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Colorado--published in this week&amp;#x27;s issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences--confirmed what we already knew: hands are germy things. In fact, they found that both men and women had significantly more bacteria on their hands than they suspected. But here&amp;#x27;s the kicker: The researchers found that women had more bacteria on their hands then men--ick. The scientists don&amp;#x27;t know why this was the case (they hint at things like cosmetics and lotion use), but what it could really mean, gals, is that we need to do a better job washing our hands! Random side note: I once worked with a coworker who&amp;#x27;d do her business in the women&amp;#x27;s restroom and then leave--without washing her hands. Gross! What do you think of this study? Do you still believe that women are &amp;quot;cleaner&amp;quot; than men, or do you know a guy who puts you to shame? Photo: iStock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
