Re: Risk of Prostate Cancer

It is impostant that the blood test is done before any digital examination is performed.....as a digital examination will raise the levels of PSA.
To get this into perspective, the scientists are just using a correlation of facts.......and they are surmising that high levels of testosterone while a baby is developing may cause the discrepancy in finger lengths.

You can read all sorts of theories on what links there are to various cancers......for example today they are telling us that eating five portions of fruit or veg per day won't protect from cancer....and it won't, but those folk who tend to eat five portions of fruit and veg, it could be argued, take more care and responsibility for their health and well being.

I just take all these reports with a pinch of salt.
