"  Every once in a while, we come across research that we have to call total B.S. on. And this is one of them. Recently, scientists from New Zealand&amp;#039;s University of Otago reviewed nearly 50 studies of a woman&amp;#039;s mood across her menstrual cycle. During that review, they discovered that only 15 percent to the studies found that women tend to have &amp;quot;classic&amp;quot; symptoms of PMS. Think: feeling pissy when they got close to having their periods, and then feeling way better after their periods were over. More than half of the studies found no link between your period and mood swings, and 85 percent didn&amp;#039;t find any &amp;quot;classic&amp;quot; signs of PMS. As a result, the study authors decided that PMS isn&amp;#039;t legit. They even went as far as to say that there is a &amp;quot;long-established tendency to label women&amp;#039;s behavior as overly emotional and to attribute this to female reproductive functions.&amp;quot; Sure, they just studied mood swings and didn&amp;#039;t look at cramps, bloating, or any of the other fine traits of PMS. Just, wow\u2014we didn&amp;#039;t realize that PMS could be brought on by reading out-of-touch research, but we&amp;#039;re feeling pretty pissed off and irritable right now. What do you guys think?
