APPENDIX 56
Letter to the Clerk of the Committee from
Dr Ellen C G Grant
The MP Mrs Helen Brinton asked me to send you
copies of our Lancet and BMJ letters. I also include a copy of
a recent letter to Professor Breckenridge of the CSM[27].
The facts show that a main cause of cancer in women is the use
of exogenous sex hormones—the Pill and HRT. There is no
need for HRT and the Pill is now mostly given to very young women
who are at most risk of developing cancer later. This is an age
group which mostly did not risk penetrative sex in the 1960s and
their education has been very unbalanced since then. I am abroad
from 14-18th June but am usually in Kingston.
