Years and years ago, before the sexual revolution, we knew that women who were fat and didn't ovulate had a higher risk of endometrial cancer and breast cancer...
And we knew that progesterone caused breast lumps....and Depo Provera was kept off the American market for 15 years NOT because of an evil "anti abortion" lobby, but because progesterone was well known to cause breast cancer in animals.
Now we are hearing that (SHHH) hormones increase cancer...duh.
Well, the increase is small, and has to be placed against the great decrease in hip fractures and chronic back pain from osteoporosis...
As for the "heart disease"...please. Like Vioxx, it increases blood stickiness...so take an Aspirin, to counteract it.
Now, the big headlines hiss at hormone replacement therapy...but no one wants to say: BIRTH CONTROL PILLS.
And, of course, no one wants to mention that promiscuity, caused by birth control pills, ALSO has been known to increase cancer of the cervix....since 1911...
