TikTok trend calls birth control “one of the most damaging things you can put in your body,” amplifying fear about safety.
Summary
This TikTok video frames birth control as “damaging,” linking it to stress, nutrient deficiencies, mood issues, and heart risks. These claims are misleading and overgeneralized. While some hormonal contraceptives carry rare risks, the overall safety profile is strong, and many methods provide health benefits like lighter periods, acne improvement, and protection against some cancers.
