Certain cases of mouth cancer appear to be caused by a virus that can be contracted during oral sex, media reported, quoting a new Swedish study.
People who contract a high-risk variety of the human papilloma virus, HPV, during oral sex are more likely to fall ill with mouth cancer, according to a study conducted at the Malmo University Faculty of Odontology in southern Sweden.
"You should avoid having oral sex," dentist and researcher Kerstin Rosenquist, who headed the study, told Swedish news agency TT.
HPV is a wart virus that causes many cervical cancers, including endometrial cancer (in the uterus).
Comparing 132 patients with mouth cancer with a control group of 320 healthy people, Rosenquist found that 36 percent of the cancer patients were carriers of HPV while only one percent of the control group had the virus.
The main factors that contribute to mouth cancer, most commonly contracted by middle aged and older men, are smoking and drinking alcohol, scientists agree.
"But in recent years the illness has been on the rise among young individuals and we don't know why. But one could speculate that this virus (HPV) is one of the factors," Rosenquist said.
Her findings confirm other international studies in recent years.
Prediction: this thread will be pulled!
If we post real fast
we can have our fun before
the moment has passed!
Monica...doctor on line one.
I guess this means when it comes to slime like Al-Qaeda, Saddam, Arafat, Castro and Kim Ill and the rest, the French and liberals are at greater risk for this type of cancer. At least this explains Jimmy Carters paralyzed mouth type of speaking. Sorry Jimmy, but you don`t come across as Bogart anymore. Let the truth be known.

Still here........
LMAO!
lol, it WAS pulled
No it wasn`t, it`s still here. See I am posting. The freep gremlins haven`t touched it.
How does this work anyway? I am new to freep. Does Jim Robinson do all the editing or does he use volunteers? I can`t imagine someone having to sit here all day and read each and every post 24 hours a day. Actually I can`t imagine anyone staring at any computer screen longer than a few hours... I was reading a story last week about Drudge. Can you believe that guy still works alone right out of his apt/condo? He only works with one other guy who lives on the west coast who takes over while Drudge sleeps and if some breaking news comes up he calls him. That`s insane, that means Drudge is literally 24 hours a day in front of that computer.
"No it wasn`t, it`s still here"
yes it WAS pulled. i posted it, and then i clicked on the link a few mintes later and it said "pulled. reason: no thanks".
then i log back into my FR account a little while later and this thread has responses.
i guess it was pulled and then they re-posted it again.
After the good doctor came to the conclusion that oral sex causes cancer he must have been on a different planet not to connect the dots. Since Bill Clinton's claim that oral sex was not having sexual relations teens have been going down like never before.
Probably pulled because it was a duplicate.
Just do it enough till you need dentures....

This guy needs to be taken out and shot. Good thing my wife isn't a Freeper.
"Oral sex"? How can talking about sex cause cancer?
Ping for a humdinger of a thread.
For your list, when you get up.
Personally, I think we need to fire this guy and do another study.
