I've heard that using the pill as a teen does the same thing to a woman's body as a miscarriage or abortion for the first pregnancy. It can allegedly lead to an increased risk of breast cancer as the breast cells start to differentiate as they do early on in a normal pregnancy but because there is no pregnancy carried to term, those changes are never completed and so all those differentiated cells remain in that state and are more susceptible to mutations that could lead to breast cancer in the future. It does seem a reasonable conclusion.

Wouldn't surprise me to see serious side effects surface twenty or thirty years down the road, right about the same time as those side effects from hormone experimentation by our athletes. I predict a generation or two of real mental and physical basket cases.

Can you please back up your "rumor" about teens, the pill, and breast cancer, with some facts? Thanks!
