I'm sorry that you don't understand the connection. My sentences were written hastily and fast. Saying what I said is "trivially true" is completely incorrect and un-ethical as a scientist for you to say.
I am doing my ethical duty to my beloved fellow humans by thoroughly explaining the risks, which I am disappointed in you as a fellow scientist not doing so thoroughly.
I tried to use the least amount of scientific words possible to get my point across, honestly. You just refuted me so I backed up what I said with facts. I don't want to sound rude, but if you don't know much about phospholipid membranes, how are you doing biomedical research?
These are words we use everyday. Since you are scientist I do not know why you are not understanding me? Maybe you do not have a background in physiology or chemistry background at all? Even my gf who is a nuclear engineer had to take physiology courses and organic chem to do biomedical research. She understands the risks involved with hrt because she had such great organic chemistry and physiology courses.
That's not the only scientific reason for risk evaluation. There are other reasons why that hormone replacement therapy or taking any medication long term is risky. We talked about these risks in my Organic Chemistry course, which I would think you have taken if you are doing biomedical research? We also discussed other possible ways for cancer to happen via fat soluble hormones in my physiology course.
The risk of medicines due to their variance in molecular shape between molecules that look very much the same but are not even though they have the same molecular formula. (I won't say what they are called at risk of using any more big words) These different molecules will all be in one dose of the medicine, but only one of the molecular shapes is needed by the body even though maybe half the bottle is made up of that same formula in a different shape molecule. There is usually many different unneeded versions of the molecule in the medicine. (It's hard to extract completely pure medicine believe me we did this a lot in lab it is tough)
Now we go back to my previous posts where I talked about the ability of hormones to pass through membranes because they are fat soluble. The hormones have to go into the nucleus to print new proteins or other wise taking testosterone would have zero effect so it has to enter the nucleus where your dna is. This is where cancer can happen. Think about what a tumor is. a mass of tons of cells that were "printed" randomly and badly because somewhere the DNA got messed up.
Now you have all these different molecules entering the nucleus because no medicine is pure (even good quality medicine it's just too expensive) effecting your dna and your body has to try to deal with all of it. You do have natural ways of taking care of unwanted molecules. We as humans naturally fight pathogens and cancer, but one body can only take so much. It has to get rid of the molecules it doesn't need or which takes up a lot of your bodies natural defenses and leaves your immune system vulnerable. Those extra molecules don't just disappear, they must be dealt with and they are most certainly not all friendly. you also run the risk of one of the odd shapes running into a receptor that maybe only you have (just like allergies) and turning on or off a gene that doesn't need to be messed with and bam, cancer.
And for the millionth time, I didn't say ppl shouldn't do hormone therapy at all. Everyone should have the option. I just want people to realize the risk and look for a better way, we could be so close to finding a permanent solution. I've watched so many people suffer horrendously from cancer. It's literally a living hell, and it's also a living hell watching loved ones suffer until the end. It made me change my lifestyle. Again I know this doesn't matter to some people. I'm just trying to help people just like me.
