Raw food/amenorhea?

http://www.waldorfhomeschoolers.com/menstruation.htm

Hi guys, I came across this link in a vegetarian newsgroup, and I'm wondering if there are any medical/nutrition professionals/students/etc who can tell me if there is truth to this? Anyone know if their sources are reputable?

I don't know if I believe the link, however. As for me, I've never had a "normal" period without the "help" of hormonal bcp, and while on a summer vegetarian diet, I do eat a lot of raw foods, and I have been getting a short(1-2 days) regularish, red-brown non-breakthrough-bleeding discharge. (also, definitely not pregnant) I don't tend to worry about my irregularity, as on the whole I feel great, and I've been irregular since I was 11. This just piqued my interest, since my "symptoms" are so similar to what they describe.

Thanks a lot!
