Because breast tissue remains susceptible to cancer until it undergoes a stabilizing transformation in the childbearing process, said Lanfranchi, the pill is particularly dangerous to women who have not yet had their first child: perhaps the most popular demographic among pill users in the U.S.

I didn’t know this either. Childbearing makes women less likely to have breast cancer?
Absolutely. Childbearing reduces the risk of breast cancer. Link
BC was the only thing that helped my wife’s horrendous periods. They were literally debilitating. She could not work for 3-4 days while on her period until she was prescribed the pill 20 years ago.
Isn’t it funny. If we use our bodies as they were designed to be used they are healthier?
“I didnt know this either. Childbearing makes women less likely to have breast cancer?”
It’s a hormonal thing.
You have a higher rate of ovarian cancer if you are childless, also.
Breastfeeding is also a hormonal thing. Breastfeeding is best for mother and baby when possible.
By the time you have breastfed for seven years (total, not continual!) you have almost 0% chance of getting breast cancer.
BUMP!
The BCP lobby is very clever the way they package their non-scientific studies.
Never using control groups containing women who have NEVER taken BCPs.
Yes, hormones are often prescribed that way. It is not really natural for a female human to have periods every month year after year. Normally she would be pregnant or nursing for much of her life.
More of the “Poison Fruit of the Tree of Liberalism”.
Michelle Duggar is going to live to age 150....
Not.
Expect to see this reported on CBS, NBC, ABC and MSNBC—because they love you (and run tons of pharma commercials).
They love you so much and want you safe—LOL!
She may have been (and could be) suffering from fibroids. A simple ultrasound will show if this is the case.
She tried everything. We were both concerned about the cancer risk but when going through what she did that pretty much went out of the window. Her condition was so bad she even did some experimental clinicals at several universities but to no avail.
The last several years she has pretty much weaned herself off of BC as she enters into what Archie Bunker called "the change". (that was a great show)
I think that was probably checked with what she was going through. Alot of what she went through was before we were married so I don't know all the exact details. She had it under control by then for the most part.
A lot of women are on birth control due to endometriosis. My little niece just had to go on them. Poor little thing.
It is my understanding (and this is old news) that childbearing prevents a lot of things. A woman’s body was not meant to have so many menstrual cycles. However, let’s be honest and admit that many pregnancies also wreaks some havoc on women’s bodies as well and that doesn’t even count the risk of the labor and deliver aspect.
