Take it easy

In Britain someone dies of prostate cancer every hour; that amounts to around ten thousand every year.

Professor Roger Kirby, who is the chair of the Prostate Research Campaign in the UK has suggested that many of these deaths may be linked to work stress! In a somewhat sexist remark he suggests that men should work like women; less competitive, and less angrily. He suggests that men should talk more about their feelings.

Not all people agree that stress is linked to prostate cancer Emma Halls, the chief executive of the prostate cancer research foundation has a different view. She says that there are many known prostate cancer risks and these include age, diet, ethnicity and family history. She claims that there is no known link between prostate cancer and stress.
