Oralsex als Krebsverursacher

“Oral sex can lead to oral tumours. That is the conclusion of researchers who have proved what has long been suspected, that the human papilloma virus can cause oral cancers. […]
The researchers, working for the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, compared 1670 patients who had oral cancer with 1732 healthy volunteers. The participants lived in Europe, Canada, Australia, Cuba and Sudan. HPV16, the strain seen most commonly in cervical cancer, was found in most of the oral cancers too.”

Schreibt der New Scientist. Nicht alles was Freude macht ist auch gesund – und nicht alles, was als gefährlich erkannt worden ist, ist auch wirklich eine Gefahr, wie der Neue Wissenschafter selbst schreibt: “The risk, thankfully, is tiny.”
