Weight gain and moodiness top the list of the unpleasant side effects of birth control pills. But could the pill also desensitize a woman's sniffer? New research suggests that oral contraceptives can reduce a woman's ability to smell the best mate. Although birth control can't be blamed for every bad relationship, the findings could help explain how people find their ideal love.
Most guys splash on a little cologne before a first date, but past research shows that their natural scent may be the better attractant

Come clean to your doc, or you could risk more than a red face. Many patients see no harm in fibbing about whether or not they smoke, take vitamins or how much they drink. But this information should not be left out. In particular, women who do not tell their doctors that they smoke rob themselves of an accurate determination of their risk of blood clots. Doctors who know that their female patients smoke tend to recommend lower-risk methods of contraception, such as diaphragms and IUDs.

A group of Canadian and European researchers have unlocked the mystery of a gene with the potential to both regulate and block ovulation.
The new study - a collaboration between the Universite de Montreal in Canada and the Institut de Genetique et Biologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire of the Universite de Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg, France - is published in the latest issue of the journal Genes & Development.
"Our findings demonstrate that the Lrh1 gene is essential in regulating ovulation," said Bruce D
The Pill and Ovarian Cancer: Persistent Protection
kavin submitted, created time 4 months 1 week (womens-health.jwatch.org)
Reanalysis of forty-five studies verifies that oral contraceptives provide protection when women need it most, decades after use.
Although oral contraceptives (OCs) have been shown to reduce the risk for epithelial ovarian cancer, the duration of this protective effect has not been clearly defined. Now, investigators have reanalyzed data from forty-five case-control and prospective studies (primarily in Europe and the U.S.) including more than 23,000 women with ovarian cancer (cases; mean age at diagnosis, 56) and 87,000 women without the disease (controls)
New "Pro-Life Pharmacies" Defend Religious, Moral Objections
kavin submitted, created time 4 months 3 weeks (www.christianpost.com)
In 2002, Neil Noesen, a Wisconsin pharmacist and devout Roman Catholic, faced a nightmare after he was slapped with $20,000 in court fines and restrictions on his license for refusing to hand a patient prescription that could be used for an abortion.
That case, like dozens of other similar cases that have dotted the nation, have spurred the development of a growing number of new “pro-life pharmacies” that cater specifically to guarding the religious objections of pharmacists opposed to contraceptives and abortion drugs

Malaysia's deputy health minister urged every woman in the country to carry a condom to protect against HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and declared that this is not to debase them but to protect them. Women are the first ones to get exploited by their (HIV-positive) partners.
Should Fertilized Eggs Have Rights?

If Colorado for Equal Rights for Human Life and other anti-abortion groups can wrangle 76,000 signatures in the next six months, theirs could be the first state in the nation to vote on whether a fertilized egg should legally be considered a person. Despite resistance from abortion-rights groups, the Colorado Supreme Court on November 13 approved the ballot measure — 40 years after Colorado became the first state to relax abortion laws — giving a boost to a conservative political movement that has worked doggedly for decades to overturn Roe v. Wade
Nature Discusses Risks of Birth Control Pill, Cervical Cancer
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 1 week (www.nature.com)
Okay, most of us have read about the study in Lancet last week linking use of the birth control pill to cervical cancer. Nature lined up Dr. Jane Green to give a whole picture of the study itself, how much salt to take it with and what else to look for. Frankly, I'm relieved that someone printed something like this. Now if it would only show up in the mainstream...
Cervical cancer risk seen higher when on pill

The House of Representatives ignored a White House veto threat and passed on Friday a foreign aid bill that would allow government donations of contraceptives to family planning groups outside the United States even though they engage in abortion activities.
Study for Am. Journal of Public Health: Condoms don't increase promiscuity
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (www.nytimes.com)
A study out of the University of Washington finds that teenagers who use condoms are not more promiscuous than those who do not, but that they are about half as likely to catch chlamydia or gonorrhea. More specifically, the study focuses on whether the teens used a condom the first time they had intimate relations, not whether they used them consistently throughout the study period.
This thirteen-year study covered over four-thousand then-teenagers and did involve self-reporting and retrospective questionnaires, which can increase error
For the disciplined, three-pronged rhythm method can be as effective as the pill
Hecate submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (www.sciam.com)
Unlike most endorsements of periodic abstinence, also called "rhythm," this article is from Scientific American, which I think we can say is an unbiased source. According to this, perfect use of the sympto-thermal method (STM), which involves not only tracking days on a calendar but also daily temperature and cervical mucus checks, can have a failure rate of as little as .06 percent, comparable to perfect use of the birth control pill. However, it requires an abstinence period of at least two weeks per cycle
HUZZAH!! Turns out that the birth control pill does not cause weight gain!
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 9 months (www.nytimes.com)
~~~~ A study shows that today's standard birth control pills do NOT cause net weight gain. Even if a person retains water for a short while, it balances out after the body adjusts to the dosage.
Now fewer women will be reluctant to be prepared. ...now I just hope that that thing about clearing up acne isn't a myth too.
The site is being tricky again, so here's the link.
