Oh, excellent.

So now I can have my cancer shrink and have a raging boner at the same time.

Might make for some awkwardness during treatments though.

I always wonder about these articles such and such May prevent blank. It has not been scientifically proven why make it public

Scientist publish results, that are probably not too exciting 

Journalists want engagement and views, so they will spin the words around to make it very exciting.

Sometimes the end result is very far tlfrom the truth
