When the possible side effects of a product are hidden from a patient, it's blatant medical malpractice and flies directly in the fact of the "informed consent" medicine is SUPPOSED to be built on. The industry pulls stuff like this and then is shocked when trust is broken. Is it truly any wonder that so many people in multiple generations no longer trust the medical industry?

Excellent article! The other thing the pill does is that it increases sex hormone binding globulin which lowers levels of free T3, which causes tissue level hypothyroidism that does not show up with a TSH test. So, many women on the pill have a decreased metabolism, gain weight, have brain fog, depression, poor sleep, and a low libido.

Disgraceful these pills instilled onto women. Celibacy is sacred.

Decades of societal neglect of men and male issues, including male health issues, are costing society in numerous ways, as well.

Who owns the Harmaceutical industry? Loxism, I tell ya, loxism.

Makes me wonder if there is a connection between the Pill and all the angry, bitter AWFLs we are seeing in society today.
