Post image for Women Taking Birth Control Might Live Longer

According to Maria Cheng from the Associated Press, a new study revealed that women who took birth control in the 1960s lived longer than those who were never on the pill. “British researchers observed more than 46,000 women for nearly four decades from 1968. They compared the number of deaths in women on the pill to those who never took it,” reports Cheng. The study found that women normally took the pill for about four years, and by taking the pill their risk of dying from bowel cancer was lowered by 38 percent, and their risk of dying from any other diseases was lowered by 12 percent.

* Repetition is key
* Over-the-counter teeth whitening products don’t work on veneers, caps, dentures, crowns or fillings
* Almost every tray is a one-size-fits-all that may not work on everyone
