[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the “menopause is a hormone deficiency” poster, I think you are the one struggling to understand. This is very similar to saying wrinkles are a collagen deficiency. No, they are a result of the normal aging process.

Loss of estrogen over time has plenty of undesirable effects but it also has some benefits like decreasing your risk of certain cancers and stroke, and adding fat around your middle that can mitigate the risk of hip fractures. You can give people supplemental hormones but don’t pretend they are without risk, because your body was not designed to have pre-menopausal levels of reproductive hormones indefinitely.[/quote]

DP.  You seem to have a deficiency of critical thinking.  You are conflating 'deficiency' with abnormality and disease. You don't seem to know the definition of 'deficiency'.  And, when you lack sufficient (or are deficient in) collagen, you get wrinkles.
