Reply to comment by Kiwifarmsfan in Any type of hormonal contraceptive may increase risk of breast cancer: according to an analysis of data by researchers at Oxford, progestogen-only hormonal contraceptives may increase breast cancer risk by 20-30%; the use of combined contraceptives may also slightly increase breast cancer risk. by aiaaidan

saying it causes “hormonal issues” doesn’t mean anything, obviously it causes hormonal changes because they ARE hormones and that’s their purpose. hormonal birth control actually decreases other types of cancers like endometrial and ovarian by 30-50%. there are risks and benefits to any medical intervention. no need to fear-monger

blending generally breaks down fiber so yes it would cause a greater spike in glucose & insulin than eating it whole. probably still better than regular sugar (different forms of free sugar still have varying glycemic indexes) but likely not a massive difference
