Reply to comment by ChilindriPizza in Any type of hormonal contraceptive may increase risk of breast cancer: according to an analysis of data by researchers at Oxford, progestogen-only hormonal contraceptives may increase breast cancer risk by 20-30%; the use of combined contraceptives may also slightly increase breast cancer risk. by aiaaidan
Just one of many examples why treatment plans are individualized and existing side effects are just one of many factors. Ibuprofen is linked to stomach ulcers, doesn't mean everyone needs to stop taking it immediately.

"hormonal medicine causes hormonal issues" also isn't "discussing dangers," it's non specific nonsense. Of course work and girls should know the benefits and risks, but that's certainly not what that comment conveyed.

Tell that to all the assholes with massive trucks who want to be heard, motorcycles, and idiots with modified exhausts. They recently extended a two lane to a four lane by my house and I can’t believe how many asshole drivers there are. It’s a residential area too.
I never heard a loud vehicle then look out my window and saw an EV.

Some do, but you’d still expect to see some correlation, however diminished.

Use Phexxi. Non-hormonal on demand birth control. Use it only when you need it. Just be sure you use it correctly to maximize effectiveness.

Reply to Heavy metal concentrations in rice that meet safety standards can still pose a risk to human health by aboynamedbluetoo
To give context, part of the problem is companies and other people not caring to filter out these materials even though we can. Was just talking with my microfluidics professor about this very concept.

Women and girls are not adequately warned about the dangers of birth control. Discussing these dangers is not “fear-mongering.”

Reply to Mindfulness has positive effects on body image, sexual self-esteem, and reduces sexual shame and anxiety by ludwig_scientist
This is great research because mindfulness is something that doesn't require a great deal of direct support to practice (naturally, there are exceptions and some individuals need more hands-on guidance).

In terms of fluoride, I’d invest in a reverse osmosis water filter if in the US. You can easily get fluoride from other sources including tea and coffee

saying it causes “hormonal issues” doesn’t mean anything, obviously it causes hormonal changes because they ARE hormones and that’s their purpose. hormonal birth control actually decreases other types of cancers like endometrial and ovarian by 30-50%. there are risks and benefits to any medical intervention. no need to fear-monger

And hormonal contraceptives lower the risk for uterine and ovarian cancer.

But the Pill is the only thing that works for my PCOS. I take the combined one for therapeutic reasons. If I did not take it, I would likely have developed Type II diabetes or cardiovascular disease by now. Not to mention PCOS increases your risk of uterine and ovarian cancer. I had a colleague from another department die of ovarian cancer at age 42. I had a friend with PCOS die of uterine cancer at age 51. I know multiple people who have survived breast cancer for many years- including one who had metastatic breast cancer.

Tone policing information women and girls need to survive and thrive isn’t helpful. Boomer women use this same logic to “protect” young women from learning the risks of childbirth. It’s not helpful.
