If you need another excuse to show some love to the mammaries, scientists have found that squeezing breasts can actually prevent malignant breast cells from triggering cancer. Yes, squeezing. Guys and gals, do your part in stopping cancer, please.
Gautham Venugopalan, a lead member on the research team from the University of California in Berkeley, says that experiments have shown that applying physical pressure to the cells can guide them back to a normal growth pattern, as opposed to just letting it follow cancerous growth. Specifically:
“People have known for centuries that physical force can influence our bodies… When we lift weights our muscles get bigger. The force of gravity is essential to keeping our bones strong. Here we show that physical force can play a role in the growth—and reversion—of cancer cells.”
The experiment involved growing malignant cells within silicone and squeezing the silicone during the first stages of cell growth. Over time, those malignant cells started to grow normally. Venugopalan says that, those malignant cells just need “the right cues to guide them back to a healthy growth pattern”. Squeezing them are those right cues. So, folks. Let’s squeeze more.

Ladies I’ve got your preventive measure here and it is free
…your honour.
beat me to it
I will rethink my whole career plan now and open an institution just to help women.

I’m clearly in a playful mood…I spotted those black dashes and I’m immediately concocting a plan to draw on my girlfriend in permanent marker tonight (she’s a fairly heavy sleeper).
This is fantastic in theory, obviously needs thorough scientific testing.
Can we do a Gizmodo commenter’s meet-up at Spearmint Rhino to test this theory… for science of course?
I think you get ejected immediately for wondering hands. Trip to Amsterdam instead?
Im forwarding this to the Mrs
I have been saving women for years because that’s the kind of guy I am.
Why are men rarely mentioned when it comes to breast cancer? Does the word ‘breast’ just distract everyone? Or are they too busy forming unoriginal quips that make me queasy?
Who even wants to think about men boobs?
It’s also nice to be and act immature.
You have a point…

How common male breast cancer is
In men, breast cancer is very rare. There are about 370 men diagnosed each year in the UK, compared with around 48,400 cases of breast cancer in women. That’s about one man for every 130 women diagnosed.
Information for men with breast cancer
Because so many cases of breast cancer occur in women and it is very rare in men, a lot of the information is directed towards women. But much of the information that men with breast cancer need is the same as for women.
…
It doesn’t matter that “much of the information that men with breast cancer need is the same as for women.” (It certainly isn’t in this case)and the problem is about awareness, not that the information isn’t relevant.
You could have linked to the cancer awareness site in your original comment, just like I have.
So quit your whinging and get to making men more aware.
Why should I have? Maybe you should quit being so aggressive pal.
You made a complaint that men rarely get mentioned when it comes to breast cancer. You had a chance to amend this in the comments by doing something about it. Instead you got all queasy about blokes making unoriginal quips…
You then said that the problem is about awareness after I posted a URL and some relevant information (raising awareness. You know, doing something about it).
All I hear from you is whinging. This country seems to be full of it. No wonder we call you Whinging Poms, it’s inherent to your society.
And that is the reason why I am being, in your eyes, aggressive. I am just making a suggestion, whether you take it or not, is entirely up to you! How you read that and the tone of it, again, entirely up to you.
So piss off back to your cup of tea and biscuits until you’re ready to shut up and do something about things that you see are lacking.
you’ll never get a star being such a kill-joy
haha, my wife WILL be pleased
somehow i dont think too many ladies will fall for the excuse “im just trying to stave off the cancer”
I am teh hero!
