It isn't just linked to breast cancer, but it is also linked to stroke, heart disease, dementia, incontinence, and whole host of other problems if taken long term. This is indisputable. Some of these diseases have been touted by the HRT industry as actually preventatives by HRT. HRT should NEVER be taken as any kind of preventative.

The ONLY women who should be taking it long term (more than five years) are women who are at risk for severe osteoporosis, and HRT does help prevent it.
