Publisher's Synopsis
With the ardent tone of a close friend, Barbara Seaman draws on 40 years of journalistic research to expose the menopause industry and shows how estrogen therapy often causes more problems - including breast cancer, heart attacks and strokes - than it cures. The Greatest Experiment tracks the well-intentioned discovery of synthetic estrogen through the unconscionable and misleading promotion of a dangerous drug. A wake-up call to women about unquestioningly accepting doctors' orders.' - Booklist'
