New pill promises to reduce breast cancer risk

Although the mifepristone contraceptives may not have estrogen and may have a decreased risk of breast cancer, it is important to fully understand the other possible risks of this drug. As was shown in early studies, with a larger than normal dose their were extreme side-effects. This doesn't mean that it is surely harmful in more moderate doses, as their are many medicines( herbs and pharmaceutical/nutriceutical) that are toxic in high doses, yet safe in moderate dosage. It just means that we need to examine this drug thoroughly before recommending it to all the young women across the country(and world).

I totally agree. Test it like mad if you think it's so safe and effective.... then you can tell people to take the pill.

I mean, seriously, if you want to really help save the world, wouldn't you rather do something with certainty?
