HRT and Breast Cancer Risk: Understanding the Connection & Hormonal Effects

Question
i saw recently  on the news that hrt causes breat cancer in women i am only 24 but was wondering if the same hormones used in hrt are the ones used in birth control and if the risk would be related. thanks

Answer
Smart question, and the answer is synthetic drugs are used in birth control that mimic menopause. Many believe that is why younger women are experiencing menopause symptoms earlier in life. TS Wiley who wrote Sex, Lies & Menopause talks a lot about this. You can find her website at www.the wileyprotocol.com
