> wrongly assume sexual activity prevents cancer

What is the potential danger here? I’m not aware of any links to adverse heath for men ejaculate 21 times or more a month. Are you? Seems low risk for something that will potentially give you a 31% decreased chance to get prostate cancer.

>Lifetime of avoiding fat…

That’s too bad. Low fat diets have been debunked for at least 20 years. They were pushed by companies that produce high sugar foods. The thing we should actually avoid.

I don’t think anyone has the same interest with the topic in the article though.




> What is the potential danger here?

People wasting other peoples time by giving advice that does nothing. Averting focus from things that are productive. Drowning useful information in information that may not necessarily be bad for you but isn't beneficial either.


> Averting focus from things that are productive.

Technically speaking, sex is productive.


It’s the attention spent reading disinformation that is meant above.


They were attempting to be humourous.

Fairly successfully IMO


As if this thread needed more already open doors kicked in. Lately feels like this place is turning into Reddit more and more for every day, I’m not only talking about this thread.


Do we have to be serious all the time? Even undertakers have a laugh occasionally.

I'm quite surprised by how little puns there are under this post.
