Long term negative effects of BCP?

I'm curious - has there been any research indicating how long it is safe to take birth control pills? A number of years ago I considered going off of them and spoke to my doctor about it - she had informed me that there was no known reason to necessitate that move. I'm now 28 and have been on the pill since I was 16, so I'm interested to know if there have been any studies implying long term negative effects of birth control?

I appreciate any info you have! :)
