You must work for a pharmaceutical company. The side effects of these supposed "wonder drugs" outweigh the presumed reduction in breast cancer risk. For example, the aromatase inhibitors CAUSE osteoporosis because they eliminate estrogen produced by the adrenal glands after menopause. If a woman has low risk for breast cancer because of diet and genetics, taking this drug could cause bone loss, and therefore breakage, and potentially death.

Also, a fair percentage of breast cancers are NOT HORMONE RECEPTOR POSITIVE AND THEREFORE AROMATASE INHIBITORS WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE.

The notion that because many breast cancers are hormone receptor positive the elimination of hormones will reduce or eliminate breast cancer is overly simplistic and dangerous. Hormones are essential to life, and the long-term effects of eliminating them are not known.

NO ONE SHOULD BUY PHARMA STOCK Based on this thread. Look at what happened to Vioxx.
