One way for women to decrease the adverse effects of taking estrogen
is to combine it with the hormone progestin.
But will adding progestin to the mix cut the protections estrogens alone
provide against coronary disease?
A new study in this morning's New England Journal of Medicine says NO.
A Harvard study of almost 60-thousand relatively young, post-menopausal
women finds the risk of major coronary disease was substantially decreased
among current users of estrogen and progestin as well as current users of
estrogen alone.
