In 2002, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) released a study suggesting that hormone replacement therapy increased the risk of breast cancer.
Media headlines spread fear worldwide. Doctors stopped prescribing HRT. Women stopped taking it.
But here’s what wasn’t shared:
The study ended early without published full available data.
Many risks were overstated as data was misinterpreted (with several unanswered public calls for redaction!)
The drugs used for treatment were synthetics, not naturally occurring hormones. (i.e. Premarin “pregnant mare urine”).
Later reanalysis showed that, for most women, HRT does not increase breast cancer risk—and in some cases, may lower it. Despite these corrections, the fear has lingered. That’s why we’re here to set the record straight!
