Should i be taking estrogen for my heart health?

No: Even though estrogen has been linked with lower bad LDL cholesterol levels, it does not decrease your risk for heart attacks and strokes, but we do know that eating right, exercising and not smoking *do* help us.

No : If it is needed for other reasons but not for heart health as it may be detrimental.
