Is high levels of testosterone cause of breast cancer?
Not exactly, estrogen-based hormones are usually the culprit, the problem is when progesterone is synthetically introduced say in the form of birth control pills, because it is the natural form of progesterone that can be beneficial as an agent against breast and endrometrial cancers. But synthetic progesterone does not switch on the gene responsible for mitigating harm because it is not recognized the way a natural progesterone is. Thus, using hormone therapy that is medical-based rather than natural forms of progesterone are less effective - try going to a healthstore and asking about Wild Yam and other progesterones that are natural depending upon why you might be interested in using progesterone.
