Possible cancer risks from HRT can be avoided

If you're going through menopause or are post-menopausal, are you on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to deal with hot flashes and other menopause situations? You're not alone, although many women are opting for more natural remedies that don't involve HRT.

With recent information linking HRT to enhanced cancer risks, what are other solutions? In what seems like common knowledge, eating right (having a very strict and followed diet) and more exercise may be your ticket to minimizing the pain of being in menopause -- but without risking internal damage or elevating your risk of cancer in any form.

The results of this study are fascinating and can be found here. What's your stance on HRT in light of recent news? Is a non-pharmacological approach to dealing with menopause a route you'd be willing to investigate?
