Unreliable study hid dangers of HRT By Nigel Hawkes, Health Editor

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,8122-1017726,00.html

THE failure of hormone replacement therapy to protect against heart disease and strokes ought to
have been realised much sooner, a leading epidemiologist has said. Experiments such as the Nurses'
Study, which followed 120,000 nurses for 30 years, found that those on HRT were less likely to have
heart disease, but observational studies are often unreliable, as they have many sources of bias.

Klim McPherson, professor of epidemiology at Bristol University, and Elina Hemminki, of the Finnish
Health and Social Services department, examined all the short-term trials. They then extracted
unpublished data from drug companies, using the law in Finland. The results showed that, far from
cutting the risk of heart disease, HRT increased it by almost 80 per cent.

The moral, say the authors, is that all data, including that from the drug companies, ought to be
available and better used.

Self-selection was the problem with the Nurses study. Those who were more healthy self-select for
more medical "care" anyway, even if it kills them. It is a good example of why so much money is
spent here on medical 'care' and why our health data are so bad. We are getting hurt.
