The harms of hormone therapy on women's health were minimized from "summary" of The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women by Barbara Seaman

The dangers of hormone therapy on women's health were downplayed by the medical establishment. Physicians and pharmaceutical companies pushed hormone therapy as a miracle treatment for menopausal symptoms, without fully disclosing the potential risks involved. Women were assured that hormone therapy was safe and beneficial, even though there was little scientific evidence to support these claims. Studies that showed the harmful effects of hormone therapy were often dismissed or ignored. Researchers who raised concerns about the risks of hormone therapy were marginalized or discredited. The medical community continued to promote hormone therapy as a panacea for menopausal symptoms, despite mounting evidence of its dangers. Women who took hormone therapy were not adequately informed about the potential side effects, which included an increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Many women suffered serious health consequences as a result of taking hormone therapy, without fully understanding the risks involved. The harmful effects of hormone therapy on women's health were minimized in order to promote the widespread use of these drugs. Pharmaceutical companies stood to profit handsomely from the sale of hormone therapy drugs, and they were not inclined to highlight the risks involved. The medical establishment, too, was complicit in downplaying the dangers of hormone therapy, as many physicians were influenced by industry-funded research and marketing.
  1. The harms of hormone therapy on women's health were systematically understated and obscured by those with a vested interest in promoting these drugs. Women were left vulnerable and uninformed, unwittingly putting their health at risk in pursuit of relief from menopausal symptoms.
