Birth control is the latest battleground in a wave of online misinformation targeting young women &mdash; and doctors and reproductive health advocates are sounding the alarm about its impact. But this isn&rsquo;t your typical fearmongering about birth control coming from Bible-thumpers or conservative men in suits. This new wave is coming from wellness influencers &mdash; the ones in matching pastel workout sets &mdash; who are linking a &ldquo;balanced, natural life&rdquo; with ditching hormonal birth control.
