A new link to breast cancer?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26954781/
"Women who were bigger and longer babies may be more likely to develop breast cancer, researchers reported on Tuesday."

This is just the most ridiculous thing I've heard since that Palin interview with Couric.

To link breast cancer to birth size, or specifically birth length, is ridiculous. I'm sure that, if you're looking for it, you can find a link between any two things you want, if you look hard enough. Maybe there's a link between breast cancer and the kind of brush a woman uses to brush her hair. Or a link between breast cancer and whether a woman wears eyeglasses or not.

So what does this mean, anyway? Seriously.

I call BS.
