Newswise — Experts from The Endocrine Society are available to speak with journalists about the health issues surrounding the use of bioidentical hormones, which have been inaccurately touted as safe and effective alternatives to traditional hormone therapies. Experts can explain why these claims have no scientific or medical evidence to support them, and the fundamentals of hormone replacement therapy, especially in the treatment of menopause.
