Hi,

Sorry of you already know this but as I was googleing around I came across these.

See this link for recent study 2013/14 showing Lower Risk of Cardiovascular Events in Postmenopausal Women Taking Oral Estradiol Compared With Oral Conjugated Equine Estrogens

and

And see Also VT & Stroke & Poss MI http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/09/130930161508.htm Date: September 30, 2013 Source:American Medical Association (AMA)Summary:
The oral hormone therapy conjugated equine estrogens (CEEs), which is used by women to relieve menopause symptoms, appears to be associated with increased risk for venous thrombosis (VT, blood clots) and possibly myocardial infarction (heart attack), but not ischemic stroke risk, when compared with the hormone therapy oral estradiol.
