what if the smell aversion thing is a biological function

the pill simulates certain aspects of pregnancy to the woman's body, no?

Perhaps being attracted to similar smells while pregnant or post-pregnancy is actually an intentional mechanism that ensures women don't reject their offspring.. ?

did the study control for this with pregnant women or women who had recently given birth?
