After 5 decades of public lies that estrogen-based birth control pills are safe, this study now finally says what Ray has been saying for years - estrogen is a brain excitant and causes seizures. And not only does it cause seizures but it causes the type that lead to brain damage. I am not sure there is such a thing as benign seizure but apparently there are grades of increasingly worse.

Birth control pills may increase risk of seizures - Vital Record

"...Could certain types of hormonal contraceptives cause an increase in seizures in women with epilepsy? A recent Texas A&M Health Science Center study suggests that ethinyl estradiol, the primary component of oral contraceptives, could be detrimental to the epileptic brain. The findings were recently published in the journal Epilepsy Research. “We were inspired by an earlier study which surveyed women with epilepsy and found that those using hormonal contraceptives self-reported 4.5 times more seizures than those that did not use oral contraceptives,” said D. Samba Reddy, Ph.D., R.Ph., professor of neuroscience and experimental therapeutics at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, principal investigator of the study. The study found that when epileptic animal models received ethinyl estradiol, they not only had more frequent seizures, but the seizures were more likely to be uncontrolled. “We suspected for some time that hormonal birth control increases seizure activity in women with epilepsy, but now we know what part of the contraceptive is problematic.”

At last, maybe in 50 other years people will start to think that Peat was not so mad after all :D.
