YATSSAS: Daily stress may stop breast cancer

I love this one, I truly do. It contains every element of a genuine certified YATSASS: (1) publication is a respected journal, (2) lengthy expensive study (3) non-conclusive speculation, (4) findings that, even if true, have no useful application, and (5) call for further study. Ya gotta love it:

LONDON (Reuters) - Women with high levels of stress in their everyday lives are at less risk than others of developing breast cancer for the first time, according to research in the British Medical Journal published on Friday.

Scientists from Denmark drew their conclusions after studying 6,689 women over a period of 18 years, and speculated that it may be because daily stress suppressed production of oestrogen, which is a risk factor in breast cancer.

"Prolonged-low key stress of everyday life results in a persistent activation of stress hormones which may impair oestrogen synthesis and may therefore be related to lower risk of breast cancer," they wrote.

However, they pointed out that this theory was untested and deserved greater investigation.

Couldn't it be that these hyper broads just don't have time for this shit?
