And

Although they originally published in 2003 it has no effect on quality of life, they've now walked that back and said estrogen is the single best treatment for menopausal symptoms.

And they initially said that our findings apply to women of all ages.

And they've walked that back and now said, no, the bad findings really were for women who were long past menopause.
