<sigh> HRT, at least with PremPro, actually increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's-type dementia, as well as ischemic stroke.
So while we thought we were lowering the risk of heart and other vascular diseases, and fighting off dementia, we were making it worse...
http://my.webmd.com/content/Article/65/72752.htm?printing=true "...HRT does protect against colon cancer and osteoporosis. But the harm outweighs the benefits..."
So for now, this combination should only be used short-term to alleviate menopausal symptoms.
So our (=men's) choices are to have to live with a woman who is either (1) demented because of menopause or (2) who becomes demented because of hormone replacement therapy . . .

God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam� God bless America! My home, sweet home.
