ID: tis the season to remember that activated charcoal can render oral birth control ineffective
There’s stuff out there that can just make the pill ineffective? You’d think this would be known more widely.
There are several. Grapefruit is another example that comes to mind.
And I agree, these things should be much more widely known. But now you know!
Grapefruit has bad interactions with a lot of medications for some reason
It has a chemical that is a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor - it basically turns off the enzyme that metabolizes a good chunk of medicines.
Earl grey tea has it too.
Had a cousin eat some spooky bread and found out the hard way what going cold turkey off her depression meds felt like. It was a rough couple days to get her back to baseline.
Since when do people eat activated charcoal? Am I missing something here?
It’s frequently used to make food appear black. It has some legitimate uses but food shouldn’t be one of them.
used to make food appear black.
just one question: why??
Capitalism
Can you expand on this?
this isn’t medical advice, but activated charcoal pretty much absorbs everything. don’t take it the same time you take a pill if you want that pill to do anything
O.o. What’s with the brackets around the A in aware?
Be ware (because spooky)/be aware (because PSA), it’s just a play on words…
At first I thought this was about blowjobs.
I thought you were trolling at first, but nope, this is legit.

Not sure why anyone would troll about something like this, but also never trust random people on the internet, especially on medical advice, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for adding sources

This and your other comments in this thread make me concerned for you. There are a LOT of real, actual, existing human beings that delusionally think that tricking someone into pregnancy against their will is a morally victorious action, by any means necessary. They don’t concern themselves with such pleasantries as “good faith” statements. They are a minority of people, but not by much. Please look after yourself and don’t underestimate the evil that organized religion is capable of.
Except this post is literally the opposite of trying to trick someone in to getting pregnant.
Maybe keep your concern, and instead invest the energy in better reading comprehension?
