Source: http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/offbeat/study-staring-at-breasts-increases-heart-health-20110304


Five-hundred men participated in the German study. Half were told to refrain from looking at breasts for five years, the other half were told to ogle them daily.

The study found the men who stared at breasts more often showed lower rates of heart problems, a lower resting heart rate and lower blood pressure.

The authors of the study recommend that men stare at breasts for 10 minutes a day.

Effectively it says anything that makes your heart possibly speed up for a bit every day (excercise would be best) increases heart health, the breast thing is probably just done to get attention to their "study".

This is a premature April fools' joke right? All three sentences of that article are written like they're for nothing more than comedic effect.

And how exactly did they reliably make SURE that TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN did NOT stare at breasts for FIVE years?

I am not refuting their claim, I am simply throwing their test in the garbage bin.

Edit: Also, my gf changes in my room often, so I'm covered in case this IS true.

seen studies like this before.
technically not baseless, as long as something is arousing.
breasts just happen to be accepted as an automatic stimulant.
the study can also be repeated with butts, or what have you so long as among the cohort that gets to ogle them they are all accepted to be excited by it, then its fine. It just acts in accordance to a daily increase of heart rate due to arousal. Likewise, analogous studies to this have been done with minute physical exercise and other forms of stimulants that have lead to the same conclusion.

Technically this can be validated. Why? Happiness. I didn't read the particulars for this experiment, but I've found that all of these ones don't account for the simple factor of general happiness. Just like laughter really is good for you, being generally happy makes you healthier. If half of a group is trying to actively stop ogling and the other is free to do it and even encouraged, who do you think is naturally happier? Any type of restraint on your part is just that little bit more stress or whatever.

So, to conclude: probably true but the title and general conclusion is disingenuous. Mis-attribution of cause.

I can't wait till someone gets charged with manslaughter or something because they didn't let a man look at their tits and he died of some sickness because of this study.

On a more serious note. The study is complete crap because there is no way of knowing if the men did or did not look at women's breasts.

Gay men probably see more breasts than the average straight man, since women are more comfortable around them.

doubt that (the more comment) however, i agree with the comfortable comment, as the homosexual male (general statement) isn't a lot more feminine than the heterosexual male (general). Men and women tend to be more comfortable with people of the same sex (or gender, i forget) where gays typically fall into the feminine category

Correlation does not imply causation.

That being said, I always was a "breast" guy. I guess I was always subconsciously concerned for my health?

Sorry guys.


If that's not enough, here is a search for "Karen Weatherby" on the website of the New England Journal of Medicine. And here she is under Google Scholar, which contains two actual returns! Unfortunately both of them discuss the study as a well-known hoax, one of them containing this gem:

There was no such a medical research study. Dr Weatherby did not exist. None of us
would take such a report seriously and some of us would trash it as a dirty joke.
Similarly, we do not take seriously this kind of misinformation as in seen in some
advertisements on how to lose weight, how to combat hair loss, and how magical
certain medical programs or policies are.


So... yeah. I don't know what studies you've heard of that are similar to this. But this is not just "fail science," it's "totally fabricated for the lols" science.

If it were not so, I would have told you.

Next thing you know they'll be telling us that looking at more than just the breasts will improve our health, and then it will be actual intimacy, and pretty soon it will be "have sex, live long and prosper" and we'll have a black vulcan from Star Trek giving the Shocker.

yea 500 is a very small sample size for a legitimate scientific research

If this isn't complete bullshit....

lol don't need to conduct research to know this is true. Besides the test is insanely stupid. there are many other variables that could contribute to the results like the fact that people knowing that they arnt allowed to look at breasts is probably bad for your heart. Also the fact that no man would go 5 years without looking at breasts..

Ya, the sample size is a bit small.

I propose that we here at TL ogle breasts daily and then in 5 years we all post on whether or not we feel any healthier. That way we can actually help science instead of just criticizing.

The next time a girl chides you for staring at her boobs, simply tell her its for the greater good.

Does this also mean female nurses and doctors should go topless if they are working near patients with heart related problems?

I see the want to in your eyes.

This thread is missing pictures of breasts, which is detrimental to our collective health.

while i am in no way ruling out the possibility (you never know, the stress of not being allowed or thinking you shouldn't look at boobs when you may really want to may actually contribute in some way) i do think this is probably wrong. it's like trying to call an event that we haven't bothered trying to figure out the science and mechanics of properly as an act of god.

however, that being said i'm going to milk this for what it's worth.

I remember a few years back I read about a study where a female researcher claimed that fellatio lowered the risks of breast cancer.

She went on to encourage all women to do it at least once a day iirc.

seems fake but what do I know. How controlled were the experiments? How could they have possibly monitored people for 5 years in the real world? I just don't see how this test is conclusive but it's pretty funny.

I assume this is because your heart rate is supposed to go up. Personally I can't say my heart rate changes much of looking at say.. a picture of two boobs.
It wouldn't surprise me if masturbating is 100 times more effective, and sex would be like 500 times more effective.. Even taking a giant crap would probably be better exercice.
It kinda feels like an excuse for fat people to skip exercising and download pr0n instead lol :'(

Yeah it'd be because of the heart rate going up. But even a 20-year-old would need like 150bpm for it to be useful, and it's need to be like 30 minutes in a row.... If you see breasts daily that's not going to happen <_< Might happen once after not having seen any for like 5 years and even then it won't last 30 mins.

Fake imo.

I don't think the looking at breasts part have any effect, but the restraint on the individual to not look at breasts have a negative effect. If you are a guy who likes looking at breasts and get lumped in the restraint group, forcing yourself to look away even though you want to for five years is probably pretty bad.

technically not baseless, as long as something is arousing.
breasts just happen to be accepted as an automatic stimulant.
the study can also be repeated with butts, or what have you so long as among the cohort that gets to ogle them they are all accepted to be excited by it, then its fine. It just acts in accordance to a daily increase of heart rate due to arousal. Likewise, analogous studies to this have been done with minute physical exercise and other forms of stimulants that have lead to the same conclusion.

Sorry guys.


If that's not enough, here is a search for "Karen Weatherby" on the website of the New England Journal of Medicine. And here she is under Google Scholar, which contains two actual returns! Unfortunately both of them discuss the study as a well-known hoax, one of them containing this gem:

There was no such a medical research study. Dr Weatherby did not exist. None of us
would take such a report seriously and some of us would trash it as a dirty joke.
Similarly, we do not take seriously this kind of misinformation as in seen in some
advertisements on how to lose weight, how to combat hair loss, and how magical
certain medical programs or policies are.


So... yeah. I don't know what studies you've heard of that are similar to this. But this is not just "fail science," it's "totally fabricated for the lols" science.



Now I don't think anyone here is arguing with the accuracy of the Snopes verdict, but the actual hoax they were referring to happened in 1999. That's over a decade ago. Really, what that sketches me out about the whole "myfox sez I should look at moar boobs" thing is the fact that the OP article doesn't actually quote any study, or mention any scientists by name; simply mentioning that it's a "German study" conducted over 5 years doesn't exactly maximize credibility. That and, as was previously mentioned, the study fails to qualify as a true experiment and has no claim on establishing causality.

That sample size is used in MANY types of pooling.

You're right about the latter part though. I doubt they lasted a full 5 minutes.

New study proves that murdering people increases heart health

Ten thousand men participated in the German study. Half were the prisoners who managed to get away with murder for at least one years, and the other half were prisoners who were arrested for minor crimes.

The study found the men who murdered someone and managed to keep in concealed for a while more often showed lower rates of heart problems, a lower resting heart rate and lower blood pressure.

"There are studies showing that increasing your heart rate may benefit heart health," head researcher Reinhard states, "murdering people is the most excellent way to do this as it provides the ever-lasting reason for individual to be afraid and nervous in fear of being caught. Another benefit of this method is that once you have murdered someone you don't have to do it ever again, contrary to other activities which increase heart rate has to be performed daily to have some semblance of effect."

Besides sneaky homicide, the authors of the study also recommends intentionally trapping yourself bare-handed in uninhabited wilderness, joining an terrorist group, and bringing forth an Armageddon to create heart-healthy environment.

seen studies like this before.
technically not baseless, as long as something is arousing.
breasts just happen to be accepted as an automatic stimulant.
the study can also be repeated with butts, or what have you so long as among the cohort that gets to ogle them they are all accepted to be excited by it, then its fine. It just acts in accordance to a daily increase of heart rate due to arousal. Likewise, analogous studies to this have been done with minute physical exercise and other forms of stimulants that have lead to the same conclusion.
dont get all the "fail science" stuff flying around =\


Threads like this are great for determining who actually reads the threads and who just skims the OP and jumps straight on the "Post" button. Did you not see gogogadetflow's post on the first page?

Sorry guys.


If that's not enough, here is a search for "Karen Weatherby" on the website of the New England Journal of Medicine. And here she is under Google Scholar, which contains two actual returns! Unfortunately both of them discuss the study as a well-known hoax, one of them containing this gem:

There was no such a medical research study. Dr Weatherby did not exist. None of us
would take such a report seriously and some of us would trash it as a dirty joke.
Similarly, we do not take seriously this kind of misinformation as in seen in some
advertisements on how to lose weight, how to combat hair loss, and how magical
certain medical programs or policies are.


So... yeah. I don't know what studies you've heard of that are similar to this. But this is not just "fail science," it's "totally fabricated for the lols" science.



Now I don't think anyone here is arguing with the accuracy of the Snopes verdict, but the actual hoax they were referring to happened in 1999. That's over a decade ago. Really, what that sketches me out about the whole "myfox sez I should look at moar boobs" thing is the fact that the OP article doesn't actually quote any study, or mention any scientists by name; simply mentioning that it's a "German study" conducted over 5 years doesn't exactly maximize credibility. That and, as was previously mentioned, the study fails to qualify as a true experiment and has no claim on establishing causality.


?

The article in the snopes link and the article in the OP both reference the same fictional study. There are not two different 5-year German studies, one real and one made-up, about breast-staring that both use 500 men split into 2 groups and both prescribe ogling breasts for 10 minutes a day. A lot of hoaxes last a long time, some more than a decade.

It's not a matter of evaluating the credibility of the study. There was no study. It's a matter of reading the thread and finding out that snopes mentioned this hoax over ten years ago, and then everyone having a good laugh that some news outlet still reported on it last Friday.

EDIT: and it's also a matter of congratulating Lexpar on his devotion to the cause.
If it were not so, I would have told you.

She went on to encourage all women to do it at least once a day iirc.

So men have an excuse to stare. But what about women? They need healthy hearts too.

rising heartbeats ist just like training your heart.

community should pay women equal to their breast size because of health ensureing issues.

also teens should learn how to encourage, concerning breast size, because, it is beeing a very worthful part of the community showing a detail of breast. self respect and worth to community by cleavage, how much humbling would be devastated. future agenda?

Ya but they have to be perfect. I hate when the nip is huge. Plus the breast has to be perky. No nip looks good on a saggy breast.
