I doubt it: A year after the big paper, there seems to be little ongoing concern. There was an older study with a similar result and many without any sign of a link. Epidemiology based on recollection generates huge amounts of garbage; physicians Rxing verapamil (a good medicine) may be more skilled at diagnosing breast cancer earlier, and there may be corruption. I would take the right BP med for you.
