Every health "benefit" listed in this article are also listed as "side effects" of every OCP Pill packet out there. Acne, Increased weight, bodily hair growth, breast tenderness, and yes even the cancers listed are listed by perscribers as risks associated with OCPs. The only one listed in the article that is consistent with the pill packet information is the decreased risk of endometrial cancer. That is because the pill significantly thins the endometrium so there is no place on which cancer could grow.
