I just watched the movie, The Man, with Samuel L Jackson and Eugene Levy. Every time Levy ate beef, he had some "accidents" Seems most of those people he came in contact with, had severe amounts of problems with this idea.

This is just another attempt by pseudo science to promote the gay agenda. Keeping your nose where the sun don't shine makes you healthy.
