It says that since HT use decreased, breast cancer rates have decreased,
but they can't say for sure if they're related.

Right - seems legit.

Is this another case of women who are health-conscious in one area, are the same in another? I.e. these women know of the risks of using HRT and therefore avoid using it, so might they not also be paying attention to how to lower their risk of breast cancer?

Once again, it's critical to distinguish between the global endocrine
disruption caused by oral, but not transdermal HRT/HT.
