ScienceDaily (Jan. 6, 2012) — Drinking red wine in moderation may reduce one of the risk factors for breast cancer, providing a natural weapon to combat a major cause of death among U.S. women, new research from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center shows.

I'm already supposed to drink it for heart health. Perhaps I should get a little wine drunk every now and then.

[Minimalist]

Whatever floats your boat, dear.

Wine does give you awful hangovers though.

I find that if you have some wine, but then finish the night on some whisky then all shall be okay

whiskey makes everything okay.

Mmm, it really does.

It makes pissing yourself on a public bench just A-okay!

I would have loved to see the peer-reviewed studies for this:

Scientist: Drink my bottles of red wine for SCIENCE!
People: Yeah!

* Violet wondered if a transwoman can get breast cancer.

So I googled it.

And the answer is yes.

So now I will have to pick up drinking

I was going to like that status, but I don't want to give the idea that I like you being subject to breast cancer risk.

Well, I know from Oz that even a guy can get it. I can't see why a transwoman should be immune.

And, come to think of it, I've heard reports that women who wear bras are more susceptible to breast cancer.

3 out of 4 women who wore their bras 24 hours per day developed breast cancer.
1 out of 7 women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed developed breast cancer.
1 out of 152 women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day got breast cancer.
1 out of 168 women who wore bras rarely or never acquired breast cancer.

There may not be a lot of corroborating evidence for the study, but, hey, at least if people act on it, the worst things that would happen would be women getting more self-conscious about their chests and Maidenform would become bankrupt.
