I never considered it for one minute...although I would if I had been in the "suffering" category...I suspect that the epidemic of tribulations around this natural time of a woman's life is at least partially due to the low fat nonsense (avoid trans fats but check into health benefits of good fats..) that people have been brainwashed into...and with low fat usually comes a diet too high in processed carbs.....not enough fat means not a healthy endocrine system... mg
