"(NaturalNews) Hormone replacement therapy provides no overall health benefit to postmenopausal women but may increase the risk of major cardiovascular events, according to the results of a study published in the British Medical Journal.
The WISDOM study, initiated in 1999, was discontinued when a study by the 2002 Women's Health Initiative found that hormone replacement therapy increased older women's risk of heart attack and stroke.
