You may have heard of The Million Women Study, an Oxford University-based research effort that is making an attempt to come to a final decision on whether hormone replacement therapy is helping women through some of the more uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, or, in fact, giving them cancer. Beyond answering these questions, The Million Women Study is quickly becoming what many experts are calling a “blueprint for women’s health.”

In a recent article from The Guardian, “A million women can’t be wrong,” it was announced that the study had found that even a small amount of all types of wine can lead to increases in a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer later in life.

These are, indeed, shocking findings, considering that red wine has often been touted as one of the best ways to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

The Oxford study also looked at a variety of controversial women’s health issues, including birth control medication, hormone replacement therapy, diet, pregnancy, childbearing, as well as menopause. The study, unlike many other small-scale undertakings, involves extremely reliable information, due to the sheer size of the number of women surveyed.
