according to cnn.com http://www.theillustrator.com/CNN.com-StudyNewstudyshows.htm Women who perform the act of fellatio and swallow semen on a regular basis, one to two times a week, may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 percent, a North Carolina State University study found. Doctors had never suspected a link between the act of fellatio and breast cancer, but new research being performed at North Carolina State University is starting to suggest that there could be an important link between the two. In a study of over 15,000 women suspected of having performed regular fellatio and swallowed the ejaculatory fluid, over the past ten years, the researchers found that those actually having performed the act regularly, one to two times a week, had a lower occurance of breast cancer than those who had not. There was no increased risk, however, for those who did not regularly perform. "I think it removes the last shade of doubt that fellatio is actually a healthy act," said Dr. A.J. Kramer of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who was not involved in the research. "I am surprised by these findings, but am also excited that the researchers may have discovered a relatively easy way to lower the occurance of breast cancer in women." The University researchers stressed that, though breast cancer is relatively uncommon, any steps taken to reduce the risk would be a wise decision. "Only with regular occurance will your chances be reduced, so I encourage all women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily routine," said Dr. Helena Shifteer, one of the researchers at the University. "Since the emergence of the research, I try to fellate at least once every other night to reduce my chances." The study is reported in Friday's Journal of Medical Research. In 1991, 43,582 women died of breast cancer, as reported by the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Len Lictepeen, deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, said women should not overlook or "play down" these findings. "This will hopefully change women's practice and patterns, resulting in a severe drop in the future number of cases," Lictepeen said. Sooner said the research shows no increase in the risk of breast cancer in those who are, for whatever reason, not able to fellate regularly. "There's definitely fertile ground for more research. Many have stepped forward to volunteer for related research now in the planning stages," he said. Almost every woman is, at some point, going to perform the act of fellatio, but it is the frequency at which this event occurs that makes the difference, say researchers. Also key seems to be the protein and enzyme count in the semen, but researchers are again waiting for more test data. The reasearch consisted of two groups, 6,246 women ages 25 to 45 who had performed fellatio and swallowed on a regular basis over the past five to ten years, and 9,728 women who had not or did not swallow. The group of women who had performed and swallowed had a breast cancer rate of 1.9 percent and the group who had not had a breast cancer rate of 10.4 percent. "The findings do suggest that there are other causes for breast cancer besides the absence of regular fellatio," Shafteer said. "It's a cause, not THE cause." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2003 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Thanks help desk for sharing the information. The topic was already in discussion few years back, nice to see it come out in journal and news. Indeed the role of estrogen in causing breast cancer, which is increasing at an alarming rate and need of alternative approach to counter it has been a big challenge for scientists. The presence of androgen and estrogen receptors in the oral cavity, the presence of those steroids in seminal fluid and urine was always looked up as possible solution, but the sensitivity of the topic has folded the aspiration of many upcomming scientists. Like wise as a early warning, those ladies on contraceptics and PMS steroid therapy are more vunerable to breast cancer (BC). Regular intake of phytoestrogen rich food, like soya tofu, (bhatmas), pidalu, tarul, kodo, have been found to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of BC. Tofu is specially signalled out for its role in low incidence of BC in womens from oriental part of the world. KK |

Such are the wonders of science! I hope this scientific knowledge will help in the moral rehabilitation of one of the greatest presidents of this fine nation, William Jefferson Clinton. Poor guy, he has been misunderstood and reviled for so long. All he was trying to do was to innoculate Monia against this dastardly breat cancer. It just proves that like all great mortals, he was slightly ahead of his times. To the West Wing then! SC |
