I am ashamed to say that when i opened my daily paper yesterday i was greeted by the sensationalised headline ORAL SEX CAUSES THROAT CANCER!!!Although i strongly agree HPV links need to be brought to the attention of the public,i cant help feeling that this sort of headline doesnt help anyone.On the other hand maybe the headline made a lot more people read the article ,which touched briefly on research done,and ended with the advice that men should wear condoms.Does any body else feel that endless sensationlist press releases quoting dubious research information about danger in just about everything we eat or do doesnt help the cause at all.The Sun Newspaper are running a campaign called "War on Cancer" but it seems so shallow that i am not sure it will help
