New study backs up HRT-breast cancer link

by Karen Lynch on June 1st, 2008

There’s serious karma going on with me and Australia right now. Yesterday I posted about the Autoglam bling.

Today, I learned about some research out of Cranberra that I have to share with you all today:

A study conducted at the Australian National University has found a fall in the incidence of breast cancer among women aged over 50 of about 7 percent. At the same time, there was a 40 percent drop in the number of women using Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) after a study warned of a link between the HRT and the risk of breast cancer.

Here’s a link to a National Cancer Institute report to check out if you weren’t aware of the link between breast cancer and HRT.

If you are on or considering using HRT, please talk to your doctors about this research. Please.
