They put this word in there because about less than 10% of all miscarriages have anything to do with hormonal inbalances, such as lower than normal estrogen levels.
So, in essence, most women who have induced abortions are at just as much risk for developing breast cancer as women who miscarry at the same gestational age.
That's pretty much what I said in part two of my post...although I could have added "at the same gestational age."
(I noticed you never even tried to refute that Danish study. How come? Their methodology, I know, is much better than a case-control study's methodology.) |
