HRT and Brain Shrinkage
Just when we thought HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy is safe, here comes a new study saying that HRT in post menopausal women is linked to faster shrinkage in the brain.
US researchers found that hormone replacement therapies (HRT) commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of menopause were linked to slightly faster loss of brain tissue in areas important for thinking and memory in women aged 65 and over.
While HRT is used to treat the symptoms of menopause, it seems that many studies have results that are against it. What do you think? Will you be on HRT when you reach post menopause?

I would rather have normal function of my brain then to have complications because of the meds i use for menopause. It’s a no brainer.

ABSOLUTELY not! I can’t get away from my tendency toward “the natural way.” I believe that we humans aren’t as smart yet as we think, and that today’s new developments (like HRT–not that it’s desperately new) are tomorrow’s headlining health risks! If it’s going to kill me, then yes–I’m medicated. If I’m inconvenienced, then “no thanks!”
