I've been reading the pamphlets that Kat posted, and no offense, but the more I read them, the more aware I become that they were written by a male. And whenever he mentions "It's a well established fact..." It usually isn't?

i agree....but, with all the reading i have done on pcos and some of the other 'wonderful' stuff i have, i have noticed that even the women who write the info sound the same way. i wonder if there was a class at med school that instructs them to write that way?? some sort of technical writing to make you sound like you know more than you do??
just a thought

Interesting pov...will have to re-read that one.

ETA
Which link(s) are you specifically referring to?

The particular post was "Pcos - Required Reading!!" And the writer began making inferences about being overweight the cause some of the hormonal problems... I know a little biology, (Though i am not a doctor, so I can't say for sure....) but it seems it should be the other way around. I am also a male, so i probably can't say I know much about women's hormone's either.
