Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hello--- Give that mop a whirl on your floor, girls while you admire the gleaming shine & that YOU have simultaneously reduced your risk of endometrial cancer .... Who sez? Why, its from " ObGynWorld.com The Essential Resource in Obstetrics & Gynecology! " " Cleaning protects against endometrial cancer " Source: 95th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research: Orlando, FL, USA; March 27-31, 2004 " Moreover, women who carried out 4 or more hours of household chores or walked for over an hour each day were found to have a 30 percent reduction in the likelihood of developing endometrial cancer, compared with those who did not perform these activities. " Read the rest here: www.obgynworld.com subscriptions available, go to Daily Archive or http://www.obgynworld.com/international/news/2004/week_14/day_5/cleani ng_protects_ag.asp?Sender=archive Amazing...and what protective effects of housecleaning would enable men to lower their prostate cancer risks... I can only continue to marvel at all the new and exciting " studies " out there on the horizon for Gynes to advise their patients in a frank and serious manner.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Marsh, what crossed my mind while I was reading your post was " wonder what effect the chemicals in all those cleaning supplies have on our health " ? And of course, re: men -- you know how their advice would read: " pick up that football/get out to that workshop " . Guess GYNs still haven't caught on to how many women pursue sports and other active hobbies. No, it's housecleaning until we die...I think it's time to bring back Sapphire: The Uppity Blues Women and their great album, " House Cleaning " . Now there's some women who know how to clean house -- and tell off sexist researchers! " Or to paraphrase my fav, EmmyLou : " Housework ain't easy, housework ain't hard Housework it ain't nothing but an awful boring job... [Chorus] And it's me and my machine for the rest of the mornin', for the rest of the afternoon, for the rest of my life.
