U.N. Classifies Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) as “Carcinogenic”

Interesting news...

"After years of research, analysis, and debate, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the U.N.’s cancer research agency, has reclassified HRT from “possibly carcinogenic” to “carcinogenic.”
The panel of 21 scientists concluded that the evidence from several recent studies was consistent and reliable enough to link HRT to breast cancer thereby fully justifying the reclassification. The normal risk of a woman (not on HRT) developing breast cancer is slightly more than 14%. Long-term use of HRT raises that risk to almost 17%.
The panel also concluded that HRT slightly increases the risk of endometrial cancer when progestin is taken fewer than 10 times per month."
