I've just read that article. What came to mind in the hormone section of that article, is when they list possible severe ill effects of HRT did they imply Bioidentical hormone replacement ? I hear Susan Summers is doing pretty good on bioindentical HRT, and no doubt she looks great for her age.
Without a doubt I agree that the aging process in a very complex, and science hasn't yet found the holy grail to stop againg in it's track, but still, must we wait until say ten years from now, they find out that HRT has proven quite beneficial to get on it ? Of course, there are always two side of a coin, and in 10 years the reverse finding is likely too. However all of us are now aging, none of us escapes this process, so what should we then do ? Do nothing at all ? I'm not sure that's what I want to do.
The bottom line is anything you deciding on doing in life is potentially a gamble. The same people who tell who write such article as the one above, also tell us to eat much fruits, where fruits are relatively devoid of any nutrients as opposed to vegetables--have a look at this article by Roger Mason, biochemist :

Also the doctors proponents of not embarking on HRT, are they up to date as far as the latest research ? I'll take the instance of my PCP--he knows almost nothing regarding new research, and he's been so frank as to tell me that I had an edge over him as far as new medical discoveries go.....that's not the say he doesn't know anything, but it tells me that aside from the numerous booklets provided to them through the various drug companies reps going from one clinic to the next, they don't have much time to learn about new medical findings, unless as in the case of M.D's who chose to specialize in HRT, who sure have an edge over GP.
It's nonetheless interesting to see both sides of the coin.
