Estrogen Imposters: "The three principal types of estrogen manufactured by the human body are estradiol, estriol, and estrone.
• Estradiol (E2) is the most feared because it is the strongest and is associated with the growth of cancer cells.
• Estrone (E1) is a metabolite of estradiol, and is less potent.
• Estriol (E3) is another metabolite, but is considered so mild mannered that it is recommended as a safe hormone replacement. In addition, the human body contains 11 other estradiol metabolites that hardly anyone ever mentions.
Premarin® and Prempro™ are drugs made of 17 beta-estradiol and more than a dozen estrogen metabolites from horses. The makers of Premarin (the best-selling estrogen drug) like to refer to their product as "natural". "Premarin" short for "pregnant mares' urine (PMU- PREgnant MARe urIN)". Premarin is made by keeping artificially inseminated horses in stalls with collection bags strapped over their anatomy in order to collect their urine, which is then made into the drug. If the human consumption of horse urine is natural, then Premarin is natural.
(EW!! I Don't Eat Hay)
The data from studies of women taking these drugs cannot, and should not, be extrapolated to other hormone replacement drugs or therapy."
