Study Says Condoms Contain Cancer-Causing Substance

BERLIN (Reuters) - Most condoms contain a cancer-causing chemical and their manufacture should be subject to greater quality control, a German scientific research institute said Friday.

The Chemical and Veterinary Investigation Institute in Stuttgart, Germany, said it found the carcinogen N-Nitrosamine present in 29 of 32 types of condoms it tested in simulated conditions.

"N-Nitrosamine is one of the most carcinogenic substances," the study's authors said. "There is a pressing need for manufacturers to tackle this problem."

The carcinogen is thought to be present in a substance used to improve condom elasticity. When the rubber material comes in contact with human bodily fluids, it can release traces of N-Nitrosamine, the study said.

But Germany's Federal Institute for Risk Assessment said that daily condom use exposed users to N-Nitrosamine levels up to three times higher than levels naturally present in food.
What kind of levels did they find caused cancer??? "Three times as much" as is "naturally present in food"?? Eighty hundred?? How are we supposed to make a logical evaluation of this so called "study", if it doesn't have the decency to give us such pertinent information?

We're not even sure if it is present????

Guys aren't the only ones this thread could be directed at!! So far, this risk appears to be better than the alternative of not using condoms. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

If is released by bodily fluids then women are more at risk.

On a less serious note it's karma for those drug traffickers that bring in drugs that way.

I just heard on the news that you have to use condoms at least a million times or so before there is a risk of cancer

rumors have it that Porsche drivers are among the first to boycott the use of condoms...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
