Study: The Pill Doesn't Make You Fat

According to a recent study conducted by Family Health International in Research Triangle Park and the University of Leiden, and contrary to what most women think, the birth control pill does not cause substantial weight gain.

Maria Gallo of Family Health International and colleagues reviewed 42 separate trials of women on birth control pills or patches.

There were three trials that compared the real pill to a placebo in women, and none showed the women taking the actual hormones gained any more weight than women taking dummy pills.

Now how about a study to find out if the pill makes you crazy.
