Weird shit.

The British Medical Journal recently published a study revealing that left-handed people may have an increased chance of developing premenopausal breast cancer. And how much is this chance increased, do you ask? More than twice as likely. Whaa?
Researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht came to these findings after studying 12,000 women who were born between 1932 and 1941.
So how does left-handedness come into the picture? Apparently, previous studies have suggested that high levels of sex hormones before birth may cause left-handedness. It’s also thought that hormones can trigger changes in the breast tissue that make tumor growth more likely. Put those two random studies together, throw in this new one and whala.
The lefties always get shafted in one way or another.
