Very nice article and timely with upcoming guidelines changes. Good explanation of potential bias (or lack of) from those interviewed. Could be strengthered by including other similar recent studies. Engaged comment section, take some with a pinch of salt.

An interesting and worthwhile article describing a complicated paper well. The authors are quoted throughout and the study is linked. Other studies could have been added to further explore the history of cholera research

An interesting idea but the article only describes one study, which is not linked at all so difficult to tell how the results have been interpreted. Otherwise sweeping generalisations are made about woman feeling 'off' on their period without any scientific evidence given.
