Ummm, the research article related the increased cause of oral cancer to the increased number of partner one has - which makes sense. Correlating this (incorrectly) to oral sex makes for a much more interesting article.
Once again, the popular press running with someting that the article didn't say.

Not on topic but it reminded me of a story I recently saw and had heard of earlier. Dogs can detect bowel cancer even in the early stages just by smelling the breath or stool of a patient, according to a new study.
While dog-based cancer detection is too expensive and unwieldy to work on a large scale, the findings could help researchers identify the chemical compounds that dogs detect. Tests for those compounds may be more effective than current diagnostic methods, Japanese researchers reported online Jan. 31 in the journal Gut.www.livescience.com/health/dogs-sniff-colorectal-cancer-110202.html

I heard of a cat that could smell death in this 3rd world type hospital where there were really sick patients and the staff couldn't tell which ones would make it or not. But if the cat stayed near a certain patient it foretold death.
