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 a path to wellness for women everywhere."--Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Menopause $x Hormone therapy. 650 0 $a Estrogen $x Therapeutic use. 700 1 $a Tavris, Carol, $e author. 941 $a 7 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403013332.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012013527.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010020454.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909051313.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20190416011346.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20181127010539.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180906012748.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9E102CEB19A11E88C6D561597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
