6. Making this a battle of the sexes is ridiculous.
Why not focus on all the women who go thru hell thinking they have breast cancer, getting expensive and painful biopsies, losing work, and for nothing (as the research says?)

You know who really hates this study? Manufacturers of mamography machines and the clinics that operate them.

If a woman has high risk factors for breast cancer the doctor will order the tests.

We have to allow for the fact that TOO MUCH SCREENING can be a bad thing. That's what the doctors that did this study found with thier science. To reject it as some plot against women or tie it the viagra issue is stupid in the extreme.

Let's leave the war against science to the republicans, m'kay?
