"but it raised the number of strokes by 41 percent, heart attacks by 29 percent and breast cancer cases by 26 percent. "
The % of the increase in risk is large, but 500 times zero is still zero. I bet the chance of having a heart attack etc. is still small if no other risk factors are present. I hate sloppy scare-mongering statistics like that.
Also, aren't birth contol pills similar to these? Anyone looking at the effect of those?
