What do you see the pill and cancer of the prostate?

Oddly enough, taking birth control pills women can have an adverse effect on the health of men.

According to new research ,

"the pill is significantly associated with both the number of new cases of cancer of the prostate as the deaths from this disease " . The authors of this study note that these data are not absolutely certain, because are based on calculations, so that still more research is needed in this regard. But what we want to know is where does this strange connection. As reported in BBC News , researchers at Princess Margaret Hospital.

University of Toronto believe that estrogen byproducts are excreted in the urine of women taking the pill have been polluting the food chain and drinking water. We are on the sides. Previous studies have shown that estrogen promotes the growth of certain tumors. On the other hand, the use of the pill has increased dramatically over the past four decades. The question is, how is that our contaminated urine has come to affect men? "

These compounds are easily decomposed, so that can be passed into the urine and end up in drinking water or the food chain, exposing the general population , "say the authors. But again, what time was established a direct connection between the pill and cancer Prostate? What happened in this research is that we compared the incidence data on the use of contraceptive pills in certain regions, with data from prostate cancer incidence in populations.

In short, this research does not yield precise information on this topic. There is nothing that connects directly to the use of the pill with the development of prostate cancer. "Compare the rates of two seemingly unrelated issues in various countries is a very unreliable way of determining whether they are truly linked, because there are many things that vary from one country to another and it is impossible to say if one is causing the other, "said Jessica Harris, Cancer Research UK, a BBC World . Far from scaring the population, the results of this research should only give rise to new studies that can be analyzed more in detail these two variables that, from my perspective, still without a direct connection.
