Study: Fellatio may significantly decrease the risk of breast cancer in women

Thursday, October 2, 2003 Posted: 9:19 AM EDT (1319 GMT)

(AP) -- Women who perform the act of fellatio 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 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. B.J. Sooner 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 performance will your chances be reduced, so I encourage all women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily routine," said Dr. Inserta Shafteer, 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.

The reasearch consisted of two groups, 6,246 women ages 25 to 45 who had performed fellatio on a regular basis over the past five to ten years, and 9,728 women who had not. The group of women who had performed fellatio 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."


Well im showing this to every single one of my girl friends from here on out... but a few tid bits that I found interesting...

said Dr. B.J. Sooner

A name like that on a topic like this is priceless, I truly started crying I laughed so hard when I read that.

"Only with regular performance will your chances be reduced, so I encourage all women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily routine,"

And my god I shall do my civic duty to all women from here on out.

This was updated in 2003, but I just found it hilarious... also for those out there who doesnt know what Fellatio means...

Netlore Archive: Web page masquerading as a CNN news story claims women can decrease their risk of breast cancer by 'performing the act of fellatio on a regular basis'


Comments: Is it really necessary to debunk this? The names alone expose the text as a spoof: "Dr. B.J. Sooner," "Dr. Inserta Shafteer," "Dr. Len Lictepeen." It is clearly not an Associated Press story.

It first appeared, dolled up to look exactly like a CNN news page, on a college student's Website in early October 2003, suddenly vanishing after the URL went into mass distribution via Weblog and email, only to reappear a day later with a disclaimer stating that the story, now credited to Brandon Williamson, was intended for entertainment purposes only. (The latest version on the original site has been stripped of all references to CNN, presumably due to threats of litigation.)

errrmmm... you didn't actually think it was legit, did you?? i mean, B.J. Sooner was indication enough, but then INSERTA SHAFTEER? really now.

but hey, even if it doesn't prevent breast cancer, it's still a good source of protein! ;)
