After clicking through the links, I'm now curious to find out how sounderschick ended up, with her accidental pregnancy with new bf right after her divorce.

She's active on the CSFTL FB group. I have one or two IRL connections in common with her.
That doesn't answer your questions, but one of those "small world" things. LOL.
How the hell did I get here? Thanks @majorwife for tagging - man that was a trip down memory lane. I don't think I was an asshole either (and I know you don't), and I'd still stand by everything I said there. I forgot I was on 2U2. That was before pregnancy loss and cancer. Boo.
Anyway, I agree that if we get too bent out of shape about feelings that we don't talk about scientific research, woe be to us. I haven't read the study referenced or the articles about it - but surely we are all smart enough to know that...
- Science journalism is a mixed bag. Some is excellent, some (like shitty blogs) is terrible and skewed. - For every article focusing on the merits of a given study, there is an article focusing on its shortcomings. Read the damn article or the news agency you respect before freaking out. - Most studies on risk (of disease) are correlative, not causal. And most impact the overall risk in a comparatively fractional way. Of course the media will play up the magnitude of risk! We should be smart enough to adjust our reactions accordingly.
