Also, use of that scary 'radiation' word. EXPERTS have called for... - what 'experts'? The respected body's findings - respected by whom?

| 1202634 | 2011-05-17 05:33:00 | Virginity causes Breast Cancer. Fact or Fiction. Who cares start the scare! I've read that - they did a study on nuns, and they had a high incidence of it. Some theory that breastfeeding was a preventitive. The same article also said the nuns had a low incidence of cervical cancer though. So.................virgin births only to be healthy? |
