Pill reduces risk of women getting cancer

So, if I am reading this study correctly, women need to pick the best 8 years of their lives so sex it up, otherwise, find another birth control alternative. Better choose wisely:

Taking the pill may reduce a woman’s chances of getting cancer, a new study has found.

But taking it for too long may increase the risk, scientists warn.
In a large-scale study which tracked 46,000 British women over 36 years, researchers found that women on the pill can have up to a 12 per cent lower risk of developing the disease.

But it also showed women who used it for more than eight years had a significantly higher risk of developing cancer, according to the British Medical Journal.
