Pumping your body full of hormones is a bad idea

It turns out the birth control path is killing women three times faster than the pill.

Citing federal death and injury reports, the AP also found that about a dozen women, most in their late teens and early 20s, died in 2004 from blood clots believed to be related to the birth-control patch, and dozens more survived strokes and other clot-related problems.

I think it is tragic how the average person refuses to acknowledge the deadly side effects of all of these hormones they are putting in their bodies. Ironically, these are the same people who eat only organically grown vegetables. I just did a bunch of research for a blog post I did on the side effects of birth control. It was worse than I even thought.
