Title: Early motherhood to prevent disease?
Product review: I can't judge the authors' promotion of natural (ie plant-derived) HRT, although the overheated hyped-up tone of the book does not inspire confidence. However, their promotion of early childbearing -- preferably before 20! -- and MULTIPLE childbearing is preposterous. The costs to women of having babies too early --lost education and work opportunities, hasty marriage, immature parenthood, lifelong lowered earnings -- far outweigh the modest hormonal benefits. Basically, this is another book that tells women emancipation is bad for them -- nature wants them barefoot and pregnant and breastfeeding for 15 months per child.To read this book you'd think no woman lived past 50 unless she followed this taxing reproductive schedule. And yet, women's life expectancy in the US and other modern industrialized low-birthrate countries is the highest it's ever been, and getting higher.
