I know of only one study in this country that has used human hormones.
This means that pain doesn't come back in 80 out of 100 women who use hormones.
Instead, the group said women should consult their doctors about whether to use hormones.
I am, moreover, concerned about the philosophy of using hormones.
Two studies paid for by drug companies reported last year that about a quarter of women who quit using hormones had returned.
The goal over the next three years is to raise that to 100 percent, using genetic tricks and male hormones.
It is dangerous to use hormones in this way.
Birth control that uses hormones is very good at preventing pregnancy.
Many cattle growers who do not use hormones make that point on their label.
And forget about using hormones solely to protect yourself from diseases; there are other, better ways.
