Got this interesting article sent to me... wonder if it is true

Some American said:
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 occurrence 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 occurrence 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 occurrence 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."

I told her it was good for tonsillitis, but she wouldn't swallow that.
