Prostate Cancer Risk Reduced by Having Sex with more than 20 Women
Published: 29 October 2014
New research published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology shows that men who have sex with more than 20 women during the course of their lifetime have a 28% lower risk; and are 19% less likely to develop the most aggressive form of prostate cancer compared to those who had only one female sexual partner.
Researchers said that it is possible that having many female sexual partners results in a higher frequency of ejaculations, whose protective effect against prostate cancer has been previously observed in cohort studies. Large numbers of ejaculations may reduce the concentration of cancer-causing substances in prostatic fluid or lowering the production of intraluminal crystalloids.
But for homosexuals, they found that having more than 20 male partners doubled the risk of prostate cancer and made an aggressive cancer five times compared to those who have had only one male partner. This increased risk for homosexual men is that there is a heightened risk of picking up a sexually transmitted disease and anal intercourse produces physical trauma to the prostate.
The research found that men, who had never had sexual intercourse, were twice as likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. The study found that men with prostate cancer were twice as likely to have a relative with cancer, but there is a possible link with their number of sexual partners. But the lead researcher said that, despite the results, she did not see a need for public health authorities to encourage men to have sex with as many women as possible.

Hugh Jackman treated for skin cancer for third time in a year
Published: 27 October 2014
For the third time in 12 months, actor Hugh Jackman has reportedly been diagnosed and treated for skin cancer. The actor wants others to learn a lesson from his mistakes and wear sunscreen.
The 46-year-old Wolverine star was previously treated for basal cell carcinoma in November 2013, and again in May this year. He posted Instagram photos of his bandaged nose each time. Despite his third bout with cancer, Jackman appears to be in good spirits. The actor’s rep says he is on the mend and “all good” now.
In May while he was receiving treatment for his second basal cell carcinoma, Jackman posted a photo on his Instagram page with a bandage on his nose and urged his fans not to “be foolish like me.” On Oct. 27, he posted an image again to Instagram that said “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen).” Jackman added the caption, “SUNSCREEN!”
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer, according to the National Institutes of Health. The disease is curable if detected early; however, the Skin Cancer Foundation warns that the disease can cause disfigurement if not promptly treated.

Google Doodle Celebrates Cancer-Causing Vaccine
Published: 29 October 2014
Google honors Dr. Salk’s 100th birthday that pioneered the first polio vaccine in 1954. Their doodle shows kids holding signs saying “Thank you for the vaccine Dr. Salk.” He pioneered this vaccine by performing a double blind experiment on the school children. The school children were given sweets and a polio pioneer certificate for their participation. The results were announced the following year and they said the vaccine was safe and effective and it was credited in completely eradicating polio in the US by 1979.
From 1953 to 1963 the Merck drug company had deliberately contaminated the polio vaccine with SV40 virus and they continue to give it out. For years researchers suggested that millions of vials of the polio vaccine that infected individual that cause tumors. Molecular evidence of this SV40 is showing up in children born after 1982 and some experts now suggest that this virus might have remained in the polio vaccine until 1999.
Dr. Morris Hilleman a Merck scientist admits on tape that these vaccines were tainted with leukemia and other kinds of cancers. This virus may have long term effects with cancer. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website admitted that they knew about this SV40 being in the polio vaccine but the fact sheet that linked the polio vaccine to cancer was robbed down the memory hole. The vaccine that was administered from 1955 to 1963 to over 98 million Americans that it was contaminated with SV40 the pages are still available through Google cash system.
