There was a HUGE study a few years ago called the Women's Heath Initiative. Long story short it showed that estrogen was bad and we shouldn't treat women with this. The trouble was the data was spun in such a way that this was not entirely correct. It changed the way our country practiced medicine with what some feel was very bad data. It was/is a huge controversy.
Thank you very much for adding this example. Same type thing is going on for testosterone supplements for men. Increased vigor, shorten lifespan? Bottom line to me is that my physician, whom I trust completely with all my other medical needs, want's me to get a flu shot.
Now back to the flu shot thread.
