    Ah well...

    Study Links Viagra to Skin Cancer
    http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/17009/

    The blockbuster erectile dysfunction drug Viagra has been linked to an increased risk of skin cancer in a new study published in the Journal of American Medicine that examined 26,000 men.

    The risk of melanoma increased by 84% among men who took the drug.

    However, scientists involved emphasized that the results of the study are preliminary and men taking Viagra do not necessarily need to stop taking the drug, pending further studies that researchers hope will clarify the initial findings.

    “But people who are on the medication and who have a high risk for developing melanoma may consider touching base with their primary care providers,” said Abrar Qureshi, co-author of the study and chair of the dermatology department in the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University.

    Okay so they are saying it's hard-on your skin?
    Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
    Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
    Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
    21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
    And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB

    LOL!



    I wonder if viagra causes the melanoma or if it impacts the melanin in the skin so that it can't resist the negative effects of sunlight.

    Oh Mercy!

    Let me see now ... Viagra, melanoma, sunlight, sunscreen, not to mention those possible 4 hr. problems that you hear about ...

    Wouldn't it be better to NOT fool around with Mother Nature in the first place?

    Every pharmaceutical has some kind of side effect. My guess is that most guys would consider skin cancer a mild risk for the benefit of having working parts.

    Their wives, however, might beg to differ.
