Baby talk magazine and circumcision..grr  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
So i get baby talk mag for free and i usually only page through it but take what the mag says with a grain of salt, i feel as though its VERY mainstream. Anyway so here is what i saw and read....

Circumcision news
"Still debabiting whether or not to circumscise your son? Evidence is building that circumcision may reduce the chances of a man contracting HIV. Previous observational studies of men visiting STD clinics has hinted at a protective effect of circumcision. But in what some experts are now calling a landmarrk trail,researchers in France and South Africa circumcised more than 1,500 sexually active hetrosexual men and established a control group of anouther 1500plus uncircumcised men. After 21 months, the uncircumcised men had more than double the rate of HIV infection,indicating circumcision may slash the rate of HIV by as much as 60%."

I would really like to know where they got this info from. And why would they have 1500plus men why not just the 1500, or is so the % of uncircumcised men contracting hiv would go up!? And glad they are using humans as giny pigs. This isnt the only time ive questioned the things they print in this mag. I'm going to call them to stop my subcription!! Just thought i would let you know whats going on with main stream america!!!

or better yet keep the foreskin and teach your son how to avoid HIV. If he chooses to engage in risky behavior then he can chop it off. . . .

perhaps the intact guys are just getting more . . . .

thats the silliest study I have ever seen

I saw that today too. They didn't even mention the drawbacks of circumcision! Just "Hey guess what! Now we have a good reason to hack off boys' penises!" It's ONE study and it was messed up so badly that every single medical journal refuses to publish it!
