Her Metabolism Introduction
Welcome to the website for Her Metabolism: a place to receive free evidence-based nonpartisan science and education about her metabolism. The site is still under construction, but a lot of pages are already available. Feel free to contact us with any questions, comments, concerns, or advice - about the content, the website, or otherwise. Take a look at the sitemap for a bird's eye view of the website. All the pages are optimized for printing.
Introduction to Her Metabolism
Her Metabolism is definitely about eating - but also about much more. Indeed, her metabolism is all of the chemical changes in her body: "changes to make energy and the materials [that] cells and organisms need to grow, reproduce, and stay healthy, as well as the changes to get rid of toxic substances."1
This website, and the the nonprofit that created it, exists to give free evidence-based nonpartisan science and education about her metabolism. All factual points are fully referenced, with citations to either or both (a) leading scholars and experts in relevant fields, and (b) data and analysis in leading peer-reviewed academic publications in relevant fields.
Good News and Bad News
Some of the pages have bad news. For example, the page on delayed motherhood reports the science showing that delayed motherhood is massively risky and harmful for her metabolism: doubling and tripling her risk of breast cancer,2-4 depression,5-7 and suicide5 - while increasing her risk of causing Down Syndrome in her child by as much as 200 times (+20,000%), compared to teen motherhood.8 Likewise, the page on tampons reports the current scientific common knowledge that tampons hurt and kill women and girls every day.9-11
Other pages have good news. For example, the page on motherhood and lactation and breastfeeding reports the science that breastfeeding hugely reduces her risk of breast cancer.12-15
