Groundbreaking news!
Not really in the peat-land , but I think even people with no science background at, all could understand that if a hormone pill you take ,shrinks your brain ,there is something bad going on.
"We found a dramatic difference in the size of the brain structures between women who were taking oral contraceptives and those who were not," Dr. Lipton said. "This initial study shows a strong association and should motivate further investigation into the effects of oral contraceptives on brain structure and their potential impact on brain function."
Also shocking to me is that there hasn't even been much research on the effects of contraceptives interaction with the brain, even though there are several generations of women taking oral contraceptives .
The authors state:
"There is a lack of research on the effects of oral contraceptives on this small but essential part of the living human brain,"
They (unsurprisingly) found, that the contraceptives increased feelings of depression and anger (estrogen anyone?!) in the people taking them.
"Other findings from the study, which Dr. Lipton described as "preliminary," were that smaller hypothalamic volume was also associated with greater anger and showed a strong correlation with depressive symptoms..."
