Condoms give you cancer!

I'm kidding. They probably don't. But a team of German scientists have found that a carcinogenic substance is present in the majority of condoms that they tested. My guess is that follow-up studies will show that the cancer risk in condom use is small and certainly it's less of a risk to your health than the one you take on having sex without a condom.
But my guess is we'll be seeing this study again. How can the abstinence-only crowd resist it? I imagine they've been itching to tell kids that condoms cause cancer for a long, long time and now they have their chance. Long after the cancer risk of condoms is thoroughly discredited, it will be trotted out in abstinence-only classes, snuck onto government websites, repeated by Rush Limbaugh, and taught in churches. You know, like the "fact" that HIV passes through condoms or that abortions cause breast cancer.
Or maybe the anti-sex crowd will miss this one. We'll see.

    The statistics on cancer including cancer insurance are quite frightening. I liked the information in your blog that also included for cancer insurance. One day everyone will be able to win the fight agaianst cancer but I fear that it will not be in my lifetime.
