Dear Reader,

You may have heard the news last week that another (yes, ANOTHER!) major hormone replacement therapy (HRT) study was shut down early to protect the health of subjects 
participating in the study. Or maybe you didn't hear about it. These studies are shutting down with such frequency lately that they barely rate a mention in most news reports. 
If it weren't so serious, it would pretty comical.

But what received even less attention was a recent report in the British Medical Journal that revealed a shocking turn in the HRT saga that will not make anyone laugh. Scream with anger? That would be far more appropriate.
