Yes, fat cells produce estrogen. I've been reading that in my research about menopause. So it must be that when you get enough fat making enough estrogen, the period starts? My theory sounds very scientific, doesn't it?

Fat cells make estrogen, at least in older women. I don't know about young girls. This is why skinnier ladies need a stronger estrogen patch than us chubbier ladies do when we are in menopause :)

I was almost 13 when I got my period, and I was one month short of my 48th birthday when I started getting the serious menopause symptoms. But I have a condition called hyperprolactinemia, which sort of puts me in a different category than most. I take medication that keeps it in check, though. I'm using the estrogen…

I don't know who this man is. I don't even watch the Kardashians or any of their shows. But I'm beginning to feel violated on Lamar's behalf just from watching and reading all this coverage. It's not a good feeling.

I like this song. I do. But is she saying "blood stains" in the lyrics? I'll try listening again.

It's to the point now where I'm not going to read any of the science articles on this site any more, because they are researched so poorly and not given any shits about. I am "in the gray," so I was not allowed to recommend your post or I would have and not just commented here. This site desperately needs a dedicated…

...but this is wildly misleading headline and a gross misinterpretation of a study.

Fiery dog poop really is the worst, isn't it? I hate seeing my little guy suffer. Glad you got your pup straightened out and happy.

That's too bad. We had to give my boy a de-worming medicine for international travel that gave him severe diarrhea. Ever since, we've tried all kinds of stuff to firm up his poop. I tried pumpkin, too. I finally asked the vet, and she suggested probiotics, which worked like a charm. Firmed his poop up by that evening.…

Yes, I didn't realize that I wasn't bolstering your point! I totally agree with you. That's exactly why these women went to Gosnell. Sorry, I thought I was making it clear that I agreed with you!

I want to recommend this! Why am I not allowed to recommend this? Is it because I'm gray?

Congrats! I got an email saying that mine is on its way! I'm super excited.

The women in the Gosnell case didn't just come from Philadelphia, though, they came from out of state, too, because he did late-term abortions that no other doctors would do. The report that stated the conditions at his clinic and what those women went through was truly horrifying to read. (Geographically, though, the…

I hope that they have the good sense to hire a money manager and invest the money and don't squander it. I hope they have the money for a long time so that they can buy the things that they want and need in the future, a nice home, an education, vacations, clothes, food, the occasional luxury item. I hope that this…

We feed our dog the Orijen. We buy the big bag, and it lasts about 6 to 7 weeks. But we feed it morning and night. He gets 160 grams in the morning and about 140 to 145 in the evening. He's a big dog (about 65 pounds), so he gets a lot of food.

It's because cat shit is full of protein. Dogs love it.

My husband and I can't have children, so we decided to get a dog. But before we did that, we looked at our economy and made sure that we could give it a good life, take it on walks, make sure it had an enriched life, not just sat indoors all day and let out into the backyard to pee and poop. We wanted to make sure it…

You have to build them up to grain-fee foods. They are very rich, and they don't eat as much of them. Of course, your pup may not like them at all, my brother's dog didn't care for it, but she was old and very set in her ways.

We had to give our dog a de-worming medicine when we were traveling internationally that gave him diarrhea, which lingered for a long time. We thought it was his food. Then the vet suggested that we give him a probiotic, which worked wonders. Now I give him these little probiotic pellets in his food every day. They…

This little guy and I approve of your comment!
