LONDON, Apr 20 (Lifesitenews.com) – Much to the dismay of Planned Parenthood, a prominent English researcher has warned that dismissing links between the pill and breast cancer is premature. Professor Klim McPherson of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine writes in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health that “recent research suggesting only a slight risk from the pill may be too simplistic.”
McPherson asserts that since women now take the pill at earlier ages, and for longer periods, the early studies are insufficient. Evidence suggests the risk of breast cancer may increase with early use of the pill. From this evidence he suggests that the chance of developing breast cancer before age 50 could increase from one in fifty to one in eighteen in women who are on the pill for four or more years before their first pregnancy.
