A compelling defense of hormone replacement therapy, exposing the
faulty science behind its fall from prominence and empowering women
to make informed decisions about their health. For years, hormone
replacement therapy (HRT) was hailed as a miracle. Study after
study showed that HRT, if initiated at the onset of menopause,
could ease symptoms ranging from hot flashes to memory loss; reduce
the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, and some
cancers; and even extend a woman's overall life expectancy. But
when a large study by the Women's Health Initiative announced
results showing an uptick in breast cancer among women taking HRT,
the winds shifted abruptly, and HRT, officially deemed a
carcinogen, was abandoned. Now, sixteen years after HRT was left
for dead, Dr. Bluming, a medical oncologist, and Dr. Tavris, a
social psychologist, track its strange history and present a
compelling case for its resurrection. They investigate what led the
public -- and much of the medical establishment -- to accept the
Women's Health Initiative's often exaggerated claims, while also
providing a fuller picture of the science that supports HRT. A
sobering and revelatory read, Estrogen Matters sets the record
straight on this beneficial treatment and provides an empowering
path to wellness for women everywhere.
