I realize this article was written a while ago but i'm just now reading it. The risk factor for the pill when it comes to breast cancer is more concerning for people who are already at risk for breast cancer due to hereditary reasons. Also, don't forget that some researchers say that taking the pill could help prevent ovarian cancer by preventing ovulation. I definately wouldn't reccomend going off the pill if you are sexually active and have no risk factors for breast cancer, as it's main purpose is to prevent unwanted pregnancy which I think is pretty important.
