This book is long overdue, and I salute the authors for their
courage and effort (and their clear, witty writing). I believe it
is an ethical imperative for all clinicians who treat women in
menopause or women with breast cancer to alert their patients to
this book. It will not only improve women's quality of life, but
also, on balance of probabilities, extend women's lives by delaying
death from all other causes.
*Michael Baum, MD, Professor Emeritus of Surgery and visiting
professor of Medical Humanities, University College London*
Well written, insightful, and hard hitting, Estrogen Matters
successfully rebuts the billion-dollar, government-led study known
as the Women's Health Initiative, which claimed that hormones for
post-menopausal women are harmful. That study was wrong. It turns
out estrogens do matter for women's health.
*Vincent T. DeVita Jr., MD, Professor of Medicine, Yale School of
Public Health and Yale Cancer Center*
How could one flawed scientific conclusion become a persuasive
juggernaut that changed the practice of women's health worldwide?
In their fascinating account, Bluming and Tavris challenge that
conclusion and unpack the reasons for its remarkable impact.
*Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence and
Pre-Suasion*
This book is long overdue. Having spent over two decades advancing
women's health, I was appalled by the Women's Health Initiative's
efforts to sensationalize and distort their own findings to promote
an anti-hormone-therapy agenda. Personally I have been taking HRT
for over 25 years and have no intention of stopping. I hope
Estrogen Matters draws enough attention to counter the fears and
misinformation about HRT that so many women, and their physicians,
still hold.

for Women's Health Research*
For far too many years women and their doctors have been held in
fear of prescribing oestrogens - believing that they were dangerous
because of a widely quoted study purporting to show that they were
too damaging. Now it turns out that this seems to have been an
example of 'fake' news. In a thorough, careful and unbiased
assessment of all the scientific evidence Bluming and Tavris debunk
this most widely quoted work and show that oestrogens are not only
not dangerous, but beneficial for the vast majority of women
suffering from post-menopausal symptoms, whether or not they have
had breast cancer. This extremely valuable message deserves to be
widely disseminated.

This is such an important book, I want to do all I can to encourage
every woman to read it. Groundbreaking and carefully researched,
Estrogen Matters provides essential information about the many
benefits of estrogen at menopause and even after a diagnosis of
breast cancer. It reveals the misinterpretation of study results
that led women (and their doctors) to have unwarranted concerns
about estrogen use. The thoughtful information presented here will
help women feel more comfortable taking estrogen, leading to
healthier, longer lives for many.
