Estrogen matters : why taking hormones in menopause can improve women's well-being and lengthen their lives-- without raising the risk of breast cancer / Avrum Bluming, MD, and Carol Tavris, PhD. by Bluming, Avrum, author. New York : Little, Brown Spark, 2018. Subjects Menopause -- Hormone therapy.   Estrogen -- Therapeutic use. ISBN:  9780316481205 : 0316481203 Description:  310 pages ; 22 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "For years, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was hailed as a miracle. Study after study showed that HRT, if initiated at the onset of menopause, could ease symptoms ranging from hot flashes to memory loss; reduce the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, and some cancers; and even extend a woman's overall life expectancy. But when a large study by the Women's Health Initiative announced results showing an uptick in breast cancer among women taking HRT, the winds shifted abruptly, and HRT, officially deemed a carcinogen, was abandoned. Now, sixteen years after HRT was left for dead, Dr. Bluming, a medical oncologist, and Dr. Tavris, a social psychologist, track its strange history and present a compelling case for its resurrection. They investigate what led the public--and much of the medical establishment--to accept the Women's Health Initiative's often exaggerated claims, while also providing a fuller picture of the science that supports HRT. A sobering and revelatory read, Estrogen Matters sets the record straight on this beneficial treatment and provides a path to wellness for women everywhere."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 618.175 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 618.175 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 618.175 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 618.175 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 618.175 Bl Transit Add Copy to MyList
