It definitely feeds into what's all over the news right now, with dietary recommendations going more towards plant based. I admit I've completely fallen for it too, and would have continued embracing that style of eating except I've started having a harder time maintaining my weight and then the bloated stomach was driving me nuts-no discomfort but I'm vain and just hated how it looked  One week lower carb (not even super low carb, averaging 60ish net carbs a day), and the bloat is pretty much gone. I've also lost a few pounds as well. No PMS issues this month either, which is really unusual. Soooo, maybe main-stream media reports really are 'fake news'
