The study mentioned in Africa has some very obvious problems with it, including that (as stated in the article) they didn't wait for all the result/information to come in.

Absolutely, and, as the study mentioned, it is much more about personal cleanliness and hygiene.

Well, even that... There is nothing "uncleanly" about being uncircumcised. It has everything to do with washing your junk. Lol

'Junk'? I don't have 'junk'; I have a very nice penis which I have just loved since I was 13 and a rather saggy scrotum which I sometimes trip over or bang against a door frame and faint. Tiger

If you don't already know, the term "junk" in American English means the male genitals.

I'm sure we have doctors who do not support circumcision, but every doctor I've personally talked to about it supports the action. The public makes decisions for their children based on what we assume are the educated minds of the medical community. It angers me to no end that we cannot rely on the words of our doctors over a matter as simple as whether or not the foreskin can do more harm than good.

In America I suspect when circumcision is still huge, is because it is a nice money earner for doctors.
