Housework cuts breast cancer risk

KH, care to take that foot out of your mouth?

You can't read either.

Dusting, mopping and vacuuming was also better than having a physical job.

[Q Classic]

Physical job, one would think, would involve something that has high amounts of strenuous physical activity, wouldn't you say?

Whereas dusting, mopping, and vacuuming are moderate-to-low intensity with high frequency activities.

Are you just ignoring the part that I highlighted from the article, and trying to create a major disagreement when there is none?

Not particularly. Women who have "physical" jobs are probably working in warehouses or factories, not roofing or landscaping.

[Q Classic]

Warehouses and factories. Depending on the warehouse, would it not involve very intensive physical activity at high frequency? Factories may require the very intensive physical activity at high frequency or very physically undemanding physical activity at high frequency.

Granted, these are assumptions, but I don't have any evidence to disprove them at this moment.

Neither of which match the rates supported in the study.

Rather cleaning and healthcare. Lifting a disabled person onto a wheelchair is extremely "physical".

I'm not disputing it. But a physical job is much more akin to housework in terms of strenuousness than it is to sports.

Debates over semantics:

It's not semantics, numbskull.

Especially not when you started it with an ill-informed comment like

They could of just said "moderate physical activity reduced the incidence of cancer" instead of sounding like some chauvinist *******s...
