[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t trust anything RFK jr or trump says. This FDA is currently SUS so I’m seeing this as a red flag. If they promote it, I should not consider it. 
If it was legitimately safe, Melania should have made the announcement. Woman to women. 
I’ll wait until we have actual medical experts back in the FDA before I trust their advice. [/quote]

Wow - you would have given it more credence out of Melania’s mouth? That’s moronic.

HRT has enabled me to sleep through the night regularly for the first time in a year. Game changer.[/quote]

And has increased your risk of stroke and cancer. [/quote]

Not stroke, bc presumably she’s not taking oral estrogen. Maybe a tiny absolute increase in breast cancer risk, which depending on family history is likely outweighed by a decrease in risk of heart disease, diabetes, and all-cause mortality. [/quote]

It's all about risks for everything.  If you have a few drinks a week, you likely have a higher risk of Breast cancer from that than using HRT.  If you eat crap, you have a much higher risk of heart attack/stroke/other health issues than someone who exercises and eats healthy.

However, the HRT protects our heart and our bones and diabetes and other things that also matter.

Be informed, make your CHOICES.  But for most (without a family history or their own history of Breast cancer/cancer) the risk is likely very minimal versus the overall benefits to your body and quality of life
