Don't worry about the mistake -- I think we are so bombarded with info on what does and doesn't cause cancer that it can be really difficult to weed through it all. When you hear something in the media, like the show you saw earlier today, it's important to take note of what study was done, where, and who did the study, and most importantly, who funded the study. It doesn't help anyone to say that HRT causes cancer. That's such a broad, general statement and doesn't say anything about what it's based on. One thing I've learned, since I joined EmpowHer, is that we have to be really critical of the info that is thrown our way because there is so much misinformation floating around. That's one of the main reasons why EmpowHer was founded -- so that women can have easy access to the best and latest health information so they can lead healthier lives.
