If only Hillary took HrT, right?

+ your free weekly roundup of hopefully helpful things

This week I saw a popular American menopause expert post a photo of Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley and suggest that her oratory skills, brain power and youthful looks at 51 make her a poster child for the benefits of taking menopause hormone therapy, I could not believe my slightly dry menopausal eyeballs when she went on to suggest that if only Hillary Clinton had taken HrT, things might have gone better for her.

I had to leave a comment (the copy editor in me can be hard to restrain). It was: ‘Do we know Nikki Haley takes hormone therapy?’. I should have added: ‘And how do we know Hillary didn’t/doesn’t?’ (If anyone can point me to evidence of either, please do. These things are kind of hard to confirm.)

You will just have to trust me on the one-time existence of this post as it has since been deleted. I’m guessing that’s because someone dared to mention a Republican in a positive light on social media, not because it is the clearest indication yet of the Estrogen Max…
