Dr. Cooper and Jennifer Hays, Ph.D., Women's Healthy Initiative discuss study findings for women and their impact on health.

Over the past two weeks there have been major headlines in just about every newspaper and magazine in the country about calcium and vitamin D as they relate to bone health and cancer, the low-fat diet and whether or not it impacts disease, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Those studies came as a result of the Women's Healthy Initiative, otherwise known as the WHI, which studied more than 160,000 post-menopausal women over a 15-year period. Dr. Cooper and Jennifer Hays, Ph.D., a lead WHI researcher, professor at Texas A&M College of Medicine, and with the department of Medicine at Scott & White Hospital, discuss these topics today.
