Actress And author Suzanne Somers has promoted cures from controversial health gurus, but her latest book may be the most problematic yet. In "Ageless," Somers relies on "independent researcher" T. S. Wiley, who encourages menopausal women to supplement their bodies with "bio-identical hormones" at levels they had in their 20s. (Somers and Wiley use the term to refer to hormones custom-made by a pharmacy, which they insist are safer than other hormones. Major medical associations strongly disagree, saying these hormones carry the same risks as those made by pharmaceutical companies, and may be even riskier because they are not FDA-regulated.)
