Hoje eu vou falar da minha posição sobre os riscos de reposição, se estrogênio dá câncer, o que as evidências atuais mostram e porque talvez precisemos aprender a pensar sobre saúde sem tanta passionalidade e com muito mais conhecimento.

Porque será que o tema reposição hormonal na mulher é tão controverso e gera tanta reatividade, resistência entre as próprias mulheres?

Porque você acha que não precisar te faz superior? Às vezes é preciso muito mais do que somente força de vontade para nos sentirmos melhor.
