Housework may prevent Breast Cancer

The UK's Medical Research Council recently announced that post-menopausal women who kept themselves busy about the home reduced their breast cancer risk by 19 per cent! Interestingly, going to the gym for more strenuous exercise, apparently, didn't derive the same benefit. Music to my ears!!

Regrettably, there were no reported protective qualities for women who have not reached menopause.

To keep the male chauvinists happy, all we need now is a study suggesting that men become healthier when they sit in an armchair, swilling beer from a can, whilst watching football on the television.
