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.

Well written science article, based mostly on accounts from well respected scientists. Balanced with clear reporting on where funding from pharma companies may have contributed to studies

Interesting article with well written arguments and appropriate visual aids. However no external references or links to peer reviewed articles are included.
