The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
it turns out the pheromone chemical itself can modulate the menstrual cycle, although it doesn't necessarily synchronize it with the sweater, what it does is it changes the duration and the pattern of ovulation relative to the so-called follicular phase
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So two separate phases of the 28 day menstrual cycle will either lengthen or shorten the menstrual cycle of the person that smells those women.
if she took sweat from the follicular or the ovulatory uh phase of the donors one extended the the cycle in recipients and one shortened the cycle in recipients I don't remember which was which but but basically uh uh definitely denoting uh a chemos signaling effect with with opposing uh uh effects on duration based on the time it was collected from
There is also evidence both for and against chemical signaling between females in terms of synchronization of menstrual cycles. Now the original paper on this was published in the 1970s by mccllintok and it essentially said that when women live together in group housing, dormitories and similar that their menstrual cycles were synchronized and that was due to what was hypothesized to be phmonal effects. Over the years that study has been challenged many many times. The more recent data point to the idea that there is chemical chemical signaling between women in ways that impact the timing of the menstrual cycle.
