In this large case-control study, women who had their ovaries removed were much more likely to develop lung cancer and heart disease. This is the second study published within the past year indicating that estrogens have a protective effect on several diseases. This is the basis for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). All of the studies demonstrating risks of synthetic HRT do not apply to natural hormones. We need large clinical trials demonstrating the safety and efficacy of natural hormones. The pharmaceutical estrogens come from the urine of pregnant horses, and it should come as no surprise that they are more toxic to humans than the estrogens women make themselves.
