The pill does more than prevent pregnancy……………

Posted: 02/01/2008

In a recently released report the birth control pill does more than prevent pregnancy, it also substantially lowers the risk of ovarian cancer:

 

“British researchers published decisively good newsabout birth control pills: They lower the risk of ovarian cancer—substantially. The longer women take the pill, the lower their odds of getting this kind of cancer. And some of the benefits seem to persist, even decades after women go off the contraception. The new analysis pooled large amounts of data. It was elegantly done. And it's worth celebrating, partly because health claims about the pill are often much harder to parse.”

 

This is great news considering the unsubstantiated medical attacks on the pill along with anti-reproductive rights rhetoric.
