Masturbation 'cuts cancer risk'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3072021.stm

This article was updated on July 16, 2003 and it nowhere says that masturbation cuts cancer risk (besides the headlines, which is false). The doctors specifically said that it "can" or "might" lower the risks of prostate cancer, and near the end it also said that it is a theory whose findings haven't "held up" yet. Maybe they've found further evidence over the past 9 years but this article clearly has many flaws. It also doesn't make mention of other factors that can lead to prostate cancer such as frequent exercise and proper sleep. Whenever your body feels that it has too much semen built up, it naturally releases it through wet dreams when you yourself don't have enough control to hold it back. This obviously wouldn't happen if the man doesn't get proper sleep and has too much stress in his life. Finally, this article doesn't give mention of the person's diet because it can be possible that the subjects have a diet that is high on citric acid and fructose which can build up in the body (despite excerise) and be cancerous. Not "ejaculating" is simply a minor factor (or not even a factor) when diet, excercise and proper nutrition are not present.
