Natural Alternatives to HRTFriday 20 December 2002
Eating the correct diet can not only reduce symptoms of the menopause, but also help to prevent osteoporosis, heart disease and breast cancer.

That's the claim made in two new books, and after recent studies linking HRT to breast cancer and heart disease they might sound very tempting. But are they too good to be true?
Dr Marilyn Glenville, author of the books, and Professor David Purdie, Clinical Research Head at the Centre for Metabolic Diseases, join Martha to investigate the claims of natural alternatives to HRT.
