HRT can reduce Cardiac Risk
Latest research has shown that women using HRT (hormone replacement therapy) have lesser chance of having coronary artery disease than those who does not.A test was done by Women’s Health Initiative on 1,064 women who were between 50-59 taking estrogen-only HRT and others coming under the placebo group. After one year of their treatment, a CT scan was done to measure the level of calcium plaque in their arteries. It was found that those using HRT has 30-40% less chance of forming calcium deposits. Calcium deposit is considered to be the first warning sign leading to heart diseases. This was also proven for younger postmenopausal women with HRT against those without any treatment.
Although estrogen has its own benefits in reducing the amount of calcium formation but it has its other major side effects too, which cannot be ruled out. It cannot be used as a preventive measure for cardiovascular diseases, but can be used on a short-term basis for hot flashes or night sweats in postmenopausal women, per Dr Joann Manson, Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts

Such untruthful reporting by a the news media is the biggest reason why so many of our older citizens are sick and addicted to far more perscription drugs than most of them ever need. HRT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO INCREASE A WOMENS RISK OF HEART DISEASE. I SUGGEST YOU REVIEW THE NOW FAMOUS NURSES HEALTH STUDY, SHOWING THAT HRT INCREASES A WOMENS RISK OF HEART DISEASE.

Our report is based on the latest research. Since we are not health experts, we are not in a position to pass a judgement in this regard. We have pointed out the source story that claims so. Also, other contradictory claims cannot be verified since they are also based on different research techniques. The debate always goes on. This is in the interest of human kind.
I'm glad I'm a guy when you realize the amount of hormonal imbalances a woman goes through and the amount of exploitation the pharmaceutical mega co's carry out on them.
Consider the Clinical stats on women receiving such treatments:
29% higher risk of heart attack, 41% higher risk of stroke and a 26% higher risk of breast cancer. Just say "No" applies. Seek Natural, alternative therapies.
