And we in 2000 got like it just got stone cold, like no hormones for women.

OK, so the conclusions made was like HRT causes cancer.
Whoa.
And HRT might cause heart problems and dementia.
And the reality is that there was...
One arm of women that were randomized to estrogen and progesterone and they had like one, the absolute risk of hormone of breast cancer was like one.
I don't remember the extra percent, but the one percent.
It was very low, very low.
You had the other arm that was randomized to estrogen only.
that had no uterus and the people who got HRT in that group actually had a lower risk of breast cancer.
They don't tell you that.
They don't tell you that.
So it wasn't about the estrogen, it's about the combination.
