It was published online Oct. 30 in JAMA Oncology. Doctors say these study results won't change how they advise patients and that women should not stop using their birth control. Still, TikTok is flooded with factually incomplete warnings that contraceptives cause cancer and are as dangerous as smoking. Reproductive health advocates warn that studies like this can easily be taken out of context online and be reduced to a single alarming number. Co-authors "sa Johansson and Fatemeh Hadizadeh, epidemiologists at Uppsala University, said the rise is modest and short-term, with risk highest during current use and fading within five to 10 years after stopping.

Thanks to their elevated height, they provide a commanding view of the road. They also deliver lots of passenger space, roomy cargo holds, and often have strong safety ratings.

Choosing a used hybrid SUV saves money at the point of purchase, and the hybrid engine helps lower the cost of refueling for many miles down the road.

1+ hour, 53+ min ago (606+ words) The result? Visitors arrive with expectations so wildly off-base that they might as well be visiting a different planet. Let's dive into the biggest misconceptions that keep tourists from experiencing the real Los Angeles. Here's the thing that'll blow your mind: Los Angeles gets way more rain than people think. Downtown Los Angeles gets about 15 inches a year. Nine of those inches fall in December, January, and February. It rains, people, it really does. I know it sounds crazy when you're used to seeing nothing but sunny skies in every movie scene, but LA actually has distinct wet and dry seasons. Downtown L.A. recently experienced one of its wettest November months in decades. The current rain season overall has brought a cumulative 7.03 inches of rainfall to Downtown L.A.

3+ hour, 9+ min ago (156+ words) TARZANA, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Three people were taken into custody after California Highway Patrol officers performed two PIT maneuvers to end a chaotic chase through the San Fernando Valley Wednesday night. The chase ended just after 11:10 p.m. near the area of Garden Grove and Doman avenues in Tarzana. One of the CHP vehicles involved in the pursuit performed the PIT maneuvers in quick succession after the fleeing driver made a left turn in a residential neighborhood. The second PIT maneuver forced the suspects to stop and abandon their car. A driver and two passengers emerged from the car and fled on foot through the neighborhood in a desperate attempt to escape capture. All three suspects were eventually taken into custody after the foot chase. At least one of the suspects was tackled by an officer during the getaway attempt. Authorities said…...

3+ hour, 14+ min ago (1229+ words) A month or so ago, with construction crews still plugging along, Ted Koerner lost sight of the finish line. He wasn't sure when he'd be able to move back home to Altadena with Daisy May, his 13-year-old golden retriever. Koerner's home was destroyed in the Eaton fire in January, but he has pushed and persisted, trying to speed the rebuilding for Daisy's sake as much as his own. Whatever time she had left, Koerner told me back in October, he wanted her to spend it where she's comfortable and happy. "She's almost 14," he said, and that's well beyond the average lifespan for her breed. On Tuesday, they made it back home, and it was hard to tell who was happier. "She's been out here doing zoomies," Koerner said on the front lawn, his favorite place to spend time with Daisy…...
