The newspapers above are just a small sampling of the dozens nationwide that ran an AP story that discusses research findings from the WSU School of Medicine that found that the birth control pill is safe. Women on the pill had surprisingly low risks of heart disease and stroke. "We're still learning more and more about the biology," said one of the researchers, Dr. Michael Diamond at Wayne State. Doctors say the type of hormone pill and the stage of life at which they are used may be what makes them helpful at one point and harmful at another. Dr. Rahi Victory of the Obstetrics-Gynecology Department was also on the research team, which used data from the Women's Health Initiative Study, which included 60,000 women who had used birth control pills in the past.
