i might die 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."

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."

swallow semen? did i read that right?
shiz! it's like swallowing unborn babies….
