The Women's Health Initiative Study hoped to show decreases in:

• breast cancer
• stroke
• pulmonary embolism
• colorectal cancer
• endometrial cancer
• hip fracture
• death due to any cause

The actual outcome results were shocking:

• 29 percent increase in coronary heart disease
• 41 percent increase in strokes
• 22 percent increase in cardiovascular disease
• 2,100 percent (yes, this is correct) increase in pulmonary embolism—lung blood clots
• 26 percent increase in breast cancer

Any wonder why women of our generation are under siege from an epidemic of breast and ovarian cancers? There is a link, and you'll learn more about it in this book.
