Nice post Peggy, we all need to know both sides, I would only suggest that there's always 2-3 sides to info out there. For instance the web site listed this info:
Progesterone acts as an antagonist to estrogen — it tones estrogen down. For example, estrogen stimulates breast cysts while progesterone protects against breast cysts. Estrogen enhances salt and water retention while progesterone is a natural diuretic. Estrogen has been associated with breast and endometrial cancers, while progesterone has a cancer preventive effect. Studies have shown that premenopausal women deficient in progesterone had 5.4 times the risk of breast cancer compared to healthy women.
I see some scientific research, I would say you could find as many or if not more opposing info posted out there. So when we make our decisions about what products to use you have to weigh out all of the research data you can find. And even then it's not a 100% guarantee, but it's great that you're taking the time to educate yourself and others, I sure appreciate it.
But great work as always
