Prostate Cancer Advocacy and Birth Control

[Darryl]

Birth control pills are polluting drinking water and increasing prostate cancer incidence rates throughout the developed world.

A study in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) shows that the highest rates of men with prostate cancer are found wherever there are high rates of women using oral contraceptives. Women who take birth control pills excrete estrogen from the medication in their urine, which is recycled at sewage treatment plants and returned to reservoirs and bottled water sources. Fe de Leon, a researcher at the Canadian Environmental Law Association, says that we can’t count on our wastewater treatment plants to remove them.

To reduce the prostate cancer death rate, Malecare advocates pro-active condom use as birth control for men and women in monogamous relationships. Free condoms are distributed during all of Malecare’s prostate cancer support groups and medical school conferences.

More condom use may lead to less pill use, according to Malecare volunteer Peter G. “Less estrogen in the water may prevent prostate cancer in younger men.”

Pre-med student Aidar agrees. “I tell girls in my class to use condoms instead of pills.” Says Aidar, “Condoms are not just for party balloons, you know. Really.”

That is a fallacious argument of the type post hoc ergo propter hoc. There are many plausible causes for increasing PC incidence rates throughout the developing world that have nothing to do with estrogen (principally, greater awareness and surveillance!). Malecare should not base policy on such weak evidence.

You really got me. Guess that's not hard to do. Pun intended. I was going to scream "Give Me Condomless, or Give Me Death!" And it hasn't even mattered for years now. Que cera, cera.
