Estrogen alone in this very big, prestigious study decreased the risk of breast cancer, decreased the risk of breast cancer by 23 percent.

And even more importantly, decreased the risk of death from breast cancer by 40 percent.

And nobody argues with that.

That's what the Women's Health Initiative published.

So the only thing that they're left with of everything they were waving red flags about is they say, but when you add progesterone to estrogen for women with a uterus because estrogen alone does increase the risk of uterine cancer, well, the risk is small.

Actually, that risk is non-existent.

That's a non-risk.

And it doesn't increase the risk of death from breast cancer.

And I've written numerous articles saying that that one extra woman per thousand is based on a misrepresentation of their own data.

When you analyze the data and balance it per their own protocol, even that risk disappears.

But what women say when they hear me say that is,

Well, I don't want to be that one in a thousand.

Well, it's not a real number.

It's an artificially generated, incorrect number.

And women are still staying away from hormones because of it.

Well, confusion usually is associated with ignorance.

And as I told you before we started talking, I say I don't know many times every day.

You said, well, of course, we know there are many reasons for cancer development.

I'm a medical oncologist.

I've been a medical oncologist for close to 60 years, and I don't know what cancer is.
