Recently a study released out of the UCLA Medical Center made a connection between prescription hormone use and breast cancer. Progestin (a synthetic progesterone-like substance) was mentioned.
Progesterone, which is a unique molecule that your body makes is actually health promoting and important to the health of many systems in our bodies. It differs from “progestin” because the progestin molecule is a progesterone molecule that has been altered in a lab. In the case of one popular prescription form of progestin (often mistakenly referred to as “progesterone” by doctors and patients), for example... they add a methyl group to the naturally occurring progesterone molecule, rendering the outcome product, progestin, "new to nature." That means it doesn't occur in nature and that the pharmaceutical company that put it together can patent the rights to it. Obviously we can all understand the need for and uses of being able to patent something.
But is that the best thing for us?
