Los estrógenos importan : Por qué tomar hormonas en la menopausia puede mejorar y alargar tu vida

For years, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was considered an effective treatment for relieving menopausal symptoms, reducing the risk of serious illnesses, and extending women's lifespans. However, when the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) warned of a possible increase in breast cancer, estrogen fear spread, and hormone therapy fell out of favor. Today, oncologist Avrum Bluming and social psychologist Carol Tavris reveal the truth behind those distorted facts. They explain how a misinterpreted study changed medical practice and offer a more comprehensive and up-to-date view of the science behind HRT. Key new features in this revised edition include: * Evidence refuting the WHI's claim that hormone replacement therapy causes breast cancer, along with a list of its retractions. * Updated research on the benefits of estrogen for the heart, brain, and bones, as well as its influence on longevity. * A critical review of alternative products and medications marketed to alleviate menopausal symptoms. A serious and insightful read that empowers women to make decisions about their hormonal health.
