“Hope you realize that you’ve just p!$$ed off the PC Police. You’re enjoying life too much.”

I certainly hope so.

Sounds good to me.

[Fawn]

As if men needed a reason to drink. ;)

We only get to "enjoy" that once a year..OTOH the doctor, like prison guards..well...

Seriously, wasn't there several articles a while back..(maybe a year or so) that the stuff in red wines, (if consumed at the levels in this article, ) can somehow "mask" the PSA levels..so the solution may be more dangerous than the problem..

The PSA test, whiel not foolproof, is still the easiest way to detect a possible problem, and it's nothign but stupidity if every male over 40 doesn't have it done every year.

First everyone tells me to to quit drinking, now everyone says how healthy it is....SHEESH! LOL

Not as much as “Saw Palmetto”(Herb) does..

Hey I used Saw Palmetto and drink a little wine now and then. My Prostate was removed two weeks ago. I want my money back!

It’s just the nature of clinical trials. You’re never 100% certain. You’re always dealing with probabilities.

Red wine is good for the heart too. Secret for a long life drink and cook with red wine, use olive oil for everything, use garlic in abundance, eat and cook with fresh vegetables and fruits and limit the amount of red meat and above all enjoy preparing and eating your food. The French have known this for generations.

So 17 glasses per week will eliminate prostate cancer?

18 or more will give you the ability to inflict it on
your enemies!

PSA: Prostate Specific Antigen. The blood level rises in diseases of the prostate, including prostate cancer. It's a marker and can be a warning sign. However, it's nonspecific, and a number of things can raise the level, including digital examination of the prostate by a physician and, as I meant to point out, riding a bicycle on a seat that is narrow enough to impinge upon the prostate.

I learned this the hard way--though I had heard it, I was doubtful--when my PSA suddenly shot up, and, after considerable testing and other investigation, we proved that it was due to bicycle riding. (I then got a wide bicycle seat.)

Re: Red Wine Protects the Prostate

Maybe so... but getting the neck of the bottle close to the prostate is not any fun at all!

Look, I’m as much for a healthy prostate as anybody - YOUCH! - and I know you have to read a lot of - OWOWOWOW!! - stuff to keep current, but if you’d finished that article - WOOHOO! - you’da knowed you’re supposed to take it out of the bottle first. WAAAAAAHHH!

Red wine.....

A creation from heaven.

[Bender2]

Oh, Millee, my dearest... red wine may be manna from heaven for you, but the path to my Prostate balks every time I pop a cork...

I'll stick to my trickle down process... with ice cold beer.
