I've eaten lots of fresh fruit all my life, and rarely cakes, cookies etc. Nor do I eat huge amounts of processed meat, fries and so on. It's not the food. I'm also not particularly prone to inflammations otherwise. The fact is, no one knows what actually causes TMJ problems and why women are far more affected by them than men.

Edit: personally I suspect the main reason is psychological. I'm extremely neurotic and chronically depressed gal. As women tend to be more neurotic than men, that may be the reason why they have more TMJ issues. The other reason may be hormonal (young women tend to have TMJ issues more often than older women).
