“Taking the Pill reduces the risks of a woman getting cancer later in life, according to one of the largest studies ever undertaken.”
For some reason I don’t believe a word of this.
The study found that overall cancer risk was up to 12 per cent lower for women who took the Pill for less than eight years. But, for the minority of women who took it for more than eight years, the news was less good: for them, the risk of cancer increased by 22 per cent.
So, 8 years is the cut-off point.
