From: The Douglas Report
Every time I think we’ve finally closed the book on hormone replacement therapy,
Big Pharma opens it right back up.
They just won’t let this one go, not while there’s still a few bucks to be squeezed out if it.
The latest nonsense would have you believe that HRT can decrease a woman’s risk of colon cancer. The longer a woman manages to survive the increased risk of heart attack, stroke and breast cancer that come from this med, the lower her colon cancer risk.
According to a study in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, women who took HRT for less than four years lowered the risk of colon cancer by a quarter… those who took it for up to eight years cut their risk by a third… and those who took it for 15 years cut their risk by two-thirds.
I don’t care if this holds true or not. You’d have to be clinically insane to turn to HRT to lower your colon cancer risk. It’s just not worth it.
If you’re worried about colon cancer, get a colonoscopy. Just be sure to choose a tried-and-true colonoscopy, not the pricey virtual nonsense that sounds like it might be more comfortable. In the wrong hands, they’re far less accurate — and in the right ones, they’ll probably lead to a real colonoscopy anyway.
Hormone replacement therapy is one of the darkest chapters in medical history. This isn’t a book that needs to be closed — it needs to be burned.
In addition from Natural News:

In 2002, the Women's Health Initiative study found that the drugs significantly increased women's risk of dying from heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots. Since then, research has also linked the drugs to breast cancer and dementia. Use of the drugs fell to six million by 2003.
