Synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy Now Linked to Cataracts

Synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy Now Linked to Cataracts| March, 2010
According to an article published on NaturalNews.com, cataracts have recently been added the long laundry list of risks associated with synthetic hormone replacement therapies (HRT). The article states that synthetic hormones increase levels of C-reactive protein - a protein that in previous studies has catalyzed the development of cataracts. In addition, C-reactive protein has been known to increase the risk of hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes and cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Scientists have detected estrogen receptors within the eye's lens and believe that we depend on naturally occurring estrogen produced by the body to prevent conditions such as cataracts. Synthetic hormones don't function in our bodies the same way that natural hormones do and oftentimes lead to a variety of health complications later on life.
Hormonal imbalance can wreak havoc on the body; however, synthetic hormones aren't the answer. The bioidentical hormones doctors at BodyLogicMD use only FDA approved bioidentical hormones, to replicate the hormones that the body naturally produces on its own.
