Yes, and thanks for doing a good job of explaining the FDA's position. That is why I posted the second link, because it did a better job of explaining the issue. We do need to be concerned about safety. But if there is no one to fund studies for natural products to determine whether or not some of the non-synthetic choices are as good, better, or worse we also end up primarily with extensively advertised combination synthetic hormonal products. Has that been proven to be better, as good, or worse?
