What Happened in 2002
In July 2002, preliminary data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) were published in JAMA, showing that combined hormone therapy (estrogen and progestin) increased the risk of breast cancer, stroke, and pulmonary embolism. Major media outlets interpreted early signals from the study as definitive danger, and the announcement led to ...

|
|
|
Momo reported consolidated revenue of NT$8.49 billion (approx. US$279.9 million) in August, marking a 4.4% month-over-month increase.
