Study: Fellatio may significantly decrease the risk of breast cancer
(AP) -- 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."

had a substantive policy to prevent breast cancer one woman at a time. I will need to pass this report around to my female friends so that I may be assistive in their health needs. The JackSwift 2004 health plan.

7. I wondered how long it'd take.
I sat and looked at that thing for the longest time LMAO and I kept saying this can't be true. Then he pointed out the link...

I still think it is as funny as anything I've seen in a while.

9. Shhhh!
In Junta speak, this story may have an inauthentic attribution, but that does not mean that the thesis does not meet with a Platonistic form of reality.

Something tells me I'd really be wasting a good opportunity if I don't turn this into an icebreaker, if not a lame pick-up line.
