Thank you.

The HRT study mentioned in the article (WHI study) looked at the effects of starting HRT, often years after menopause, often in women with existing morbidity.

Those women who started it at the correct time ie healthy women aged around 50, lowered their all-cause mortality by 25%+.

Thus, the original analysis of HRT WAS correct. Many women have died young since the WHI published with its erroneous conclusions, who would not had they taken HRT.
