>>26403 Further PROTIP: if you're referencing the "National Cancer Institute," which is an American institution (as opposed to, say, the Institute of Cancer Research which would be the first stop for those in the UK) you're probably just an uninformed American.
"Protip: National Cancer Institute's facts about cancer are more likely to be correct than the Mayo Clinic's facts about cancer."
Their statements are NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
"And yes, I did in fact quote facts that show the birth control pill reducing your risk of cancer, in general."
"2) As I originally said, ***taking the pill can cause an increase in risk for some cancers, and a decrease in risk for others.*** You haven't quoted anything saying otherwise." I never said anything about general risk of cancer - though I would additionally caution people not to be overexcited, as no doctor with whom I've ever worked has gone around handing out birth control pills as a preventative medicine for cancer. It's a generally poor idea to much around with hormone levels. Additionally, research on the pill has been very generous on the "no cancer" side to defend against religious extremist groups that have tried to get it outlawed because they claim it promotes promiscuity. Perhaps that's a fair rationale for doing so, but as the old saying goes, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
"I know two women who take it simply to curb their discomforts during their periods, as recommended by their doctors."
Yes, this is fair, and I'll admit I'm wrong here. In trying to get across my point, I went the route of hyperbole, and did so incorrectly given that the entire original question basically came down to "how do I make by breasts bigger." I apologize for making a false statement. HOWEVER, go to any doctor's office and request the pill for bigger boobs and you'll instead get referred to a psychiatrist, psychologist, and/or plastic surgeon.
