There has been some question about what roll oral contraceptives play in the development of heart disease. Why is it that a main warning that accompanies “the pill” is “do not smoke especially if you’re of the age of 35 due to the risk of blood clots and stroke”?

As Byron states in his article about the FDA’s failure to have adequately followed up on the health risks associated with “the pill”, “The use of estrogen and progesterone to manipulate the menstrual cycle and pregnancy will be problematic for a percentage of women for a variety of reasons. Any time a natural process is disrupted there will be side affects to some degree. As far as the risk of plaque goes this will be a factor for women who have other risk factors and are already heading in that direction. Some of the more common ones include: family history, poor diet, too much stress, smoking, excess alcohol, etc. The circulatory system is the weak link in the health chain, so using birth control pills with other cardiovascular risk factors will turn out to be a problem. This is easy to predict based on existing science, but it is up to the FDA to clearly define the risks and paint a very clear picture.”
Essentially, artificially manipulating estrogen and phytoestrogen causes a low level inflammatory response that is responsible for arterial stress. If you are on the pill the best thing to do is incorporate daily supplements that are protective for your cardiovascular system and make nutritional choices that are rich in dark leafy green vegetables, dark berries and high quality protein.
