This is the real reason why women taking hormone-based pills have an increased risk not just of cancer but also heart attacks, strokes and other forms of cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n<p>As long ago as 1972, a report in the scientific journal <em>Nature<\/em> described how women taking hormonal contraceptives had significantly lower vitamin C blood levels than normal. The fact is that long-term use of hormonal drugs decreases the body pool of vitamin C and other essential micronutrients, such as B vitamins and calcium. Thus, it is not the hormones themselves that increase the risk of cancer and other diseases, but the associated depletion of micronutrients.<\/p>\n<p>For women who have been taking hormonal birth control pills or have undergone hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Rath\u2019s recommendation is that they start following his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2018\/05\/dr-raths-basic-cellular-health-recommendations\/\">Cellular Health recommendations<\/a> in order to replenish their body\u2019s vitamin pool and prevent its future depletion.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button  button_left button_size_2 button_js\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/health-49508671\" target=\"_blank\"    ><span class=\"button_icon\"><i class=\"icon-right-open-big\" ><\/i><\/span><span class=\"button_label\">Read article on the BBC News website (UK)<\/span><\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The increased risk of breast cancer from menopausal hormone replacement therapy lasts more than a decade after treatment stops, a major report suggests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30811,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[121],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
