a woman only loses about one teaspoon of blood in the course of her period, which is quite quickly replaced. most of the content of menstrual fluid is tissue, i.e. the shedding of tissue from the uterine wall.
i am inclined to believe that this iron hoo doo borders on bullshit.
Kinda what I was thinking. Sounds like hooey to me. Blatantly sexist hooey.
And the Kids in the Hall should be referenced EVERYWHERE! And the Dave Foley of the early 1990s should be cloned and given to me to marry. *sigh* He was such a brilliant cutie back then.
[Edited to add...don't women die at older ages than men because, since we're encouraged to be more open with our emotions and therefore handle stress better, we're less likely to die from heart attacks at the age of 48 from repressed stuff? That's a book I thought was shut.]
I think I'll just stick to my nosebleeds when the weather is too dry, and leave the menstration to the women, and the leeches to those who want to be more hardcore.
