The studies were presented in October by the Women's Health Initiative, the nation's largest women's health study. They found women on birth control pills had lower risks of heart disease and no increased risk of breast cancer. That was contrary to what many previous studies had found. A new analysis shows that research was flawed and says there is no evidence that the pills cut the risk of heart disease. The breast cancer findings are now also suspect.
