Another interesting thing about birth control pills and estrogen therapy: They decrease the body's ability to utilize vitamin B6, so you may need to increase your intake of green leafy vegetables or take a supplement.
I'm also glad to find out about the benefits of gingko biloba on cardiovascular diseases; I wasn't aware of its blood-thinning and vasodilating properties. Interesting. And good to know, from another with a strong family history of heart disease.
