Lidia Posted April 15, 2006 Oral Contraceptives declared carcinogenic by World Health Organization Suppose a young woman is taking The Pill because she heard that it will regulate her period and reduce her menstrual cramping. Women also justify chemical contraceptives for the sake of clearing acne, loosing weight or preventing endometriosis. Other women are required to take oral contraceptives as a requirement for other prescription drugs, such as Accutane. These seemingly beneficial side effects of oral contraceptives are only half of the story. In a July, 2005 press release, the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the World Health Organization classified estrogen-progesterone birth control pills as "carcinogenic to humans". Carcinogenic means "cancer-causing." Chemical contraceptives were previously considered "probably carcinogenic to humans." http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com/news/050831/index.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
