Beware though, a LOT of bullshit gets spewed and taken for granted on the internet. Just because some guy on the internet says so, doesn't make it so.

Unlike to controversy you refer to, the link between birth control and increased risk of cancer has been well documented through numerous, peer reviewed, medical studies over many years. When I get a chance I'll post links to some.

Beware though, a LOT of bullshit gets spewed and taken for granted on the internet. Just because some guy on the internet says so, doesn't make it so. Biggest case in point the vaccination debate. Anti-vaccination idiots continue to bring up a study that says there's a linkage between vaccination and increased chance of autism. This article has long since been scientifically debunked and detracted from scientific publications. It has been disproven. And yet it continues to live on the internet and continues to be picked up and quoted as proof by people on the internet.

So if you have any questions regarding your health, don't listen to some guy on the internet, go have a talk with your doctor. And if you don't like what he or she has to say, get a second or even third opinion. And if they all agree on something, it's probably more true then some guy on the internet.

I had made my decision before reading about this so it in no way affects what I've chosen to do. It isn't relevant to my choice but if it had been then yes of course I would seek multiple opinions.
