Conflicting information on estrogen delivery methods- what do you think, ladies?

[Guest guest]

I always thought that transdermal methods are preferable to oral delivery- so

that estradiol can bypass the liver, and also to avoid the increase of the

binding hormone production (which makes estrogen unavailable), as well as the

impairment of the Growth Hormone production

(http://edrv.endojournals.org/content/25/5/693.full.)

But I just came acros this article that promotes oral estrogen over transdermal

and states that only the oral estrogen affects cardiovascular health(?!):

What's your take?
