[edit] Dangers of Hormone Replacment Therapy
I know there is solid literature on the the dangers of hormone replacement therapy during menopause and I'm surprised that there is neither discussion nor dissent on the page. I'm adding a few links here and will work on documenting them better so they can be incorporated into the page itself:
1) CBS News reported in 2003 that [1] at least one Women's Health Initiative study was halted because the therapy was correlated with an increase in breast cancer while providing no benefit against heart disease and stroke.
2) The Women's Health Initiative of the NIH has a comprehensive Q&A about the findings of their study: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/whi/whi_faq.htm
