Breast cancer risk increase linked to birth control pill, exercise reduces eye disease risk by 70%, and more consumer health news from NewsTarget

A U.S. report of young women living around the world shows higher incidences of breast cancer among those who have been taking birth control pills the longest.

Researchers examined the results of 34 international studies of women who took oral contraceptives prior to becoming pregnant with their first child, with those women experiencing a 44 percent increased risk of developing pre-menopausal breast cancer. Women taking the pill for four years or longer prior to their first pregnancy were found to experience a 52 percent breast cancer risk increase.

Also, University of Wisconsin researchers recently found that those with an active lifestyle were 70 percent less likely to develop degenerative eye disease than those with a sedentary lifestyle.
