AROWS: Estrogen for everyone!

“I knew it! More ‘scientific’ fakery! I want my estrogen, and I want my estrogen, now!” So declared the spokeswoman of AROWS, shouted as she fanned her flushed face at the press conference held this morning. ‘Post AROWSal women have been misled for the last time. We will demand to know what he knew and when he knew it!” (AROWS = Age Related Ovarian Wasting Syndrome – it’s a joke, Readers.)

There’s a report on that bastion of medical reporting, MSNBC.com, about the flaws in the Prempro study on women and heart disease. Of course the medicine combination was not enlightening on heart disease prevention in nature: it did not mimic nature.

The point is that some studies show helpful effects, some don’t. For some reason women don’t get their heart attacks until later than men, and we also have periodic changes in estrogen rather than testosterone. The take home should be: there hasn’t been a decent study, yet.
