Synopsis
The history of estrogen therapy is long and sordid, suggests this look inside the medical research field. Seaman, a longtime medical writer, examines the decision to stop synthetic estrogen research in 2002 after some strange turns in the behavior of those in the test pool. Using this experiment as a point of departure, Seaman traces the varieties of hormonal experimentation on women that have been done in the name of scientific discovery, and their painful and chilling consequences.

Publisher's Note
When her aunt died of endometrial cancer in 1959, doctors warned Barbara Seaman never to take Premarin. A fledgling medical journalist at that time, Seaman vowed to make sex hormones a major part of her lifetime beat. No other reporter in the world has covered hormone products so thoroughly for so long.
In her new book, Seaman explodes the myth that estrogen should be routinely prescribed for everything from the treatment of hot flashes to the prevention of various forms of cancer. Seaman debunks the myth that estrogen is crucial to menopausal women in preventing medical conditions such as heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer, and reveals that in many cases, its use may even have a strong role in the development of these conditions. She also talks about alternatives and discusses when estrogen use is safe and even helpful. The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women is a groundbreaking book that blows the lid off the estrogen industry.
