I have been doing the great debate over what to pick for a topic for my scientific research paper.  Now that I have the option to pick any topic I want, I did not realize it would be so difficult to choose.  I have gone from genetically modified foods to the importance of proper nutrition to the effects of caffeine on the body.  The newest idea I came up with was the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopausal women.  I want to know what the short term and long term effects are on the body if taken or not taken.  I have read some articles that vary either way.  Some say taking HRT causes breast cancer and some say that not taking HRT causes cardiovascular disease.  Personally speaking, I was surgically put into menapause at an early age and I chose not to take HRT for only one reason, it made me very sick all the time.  My doctor never informed me of the risks of my decision.  I would really appreciate any thoughts and ideas on this topic as I am unsure now where to take my research further.

Good Day!
