The one "truth" is that it "reduces the risk of cancer"... Because technically chopping anything off reduces the risk of cancer, because that thing can no longer get it.

However foreskin cancer is not exactly a high cause for concern, and by this logic cutting off your ears and nose would be more logical.

    Also not necessarily correct, foreskin protects from chafing and other similar micro fissures that happen daily for people without foreskin (as shown by the person above you having issues running). And while removing a part of you does lower the chances of getting cancer there, if it's protecting another part of you from something it can increase the risk of cancer on that other part.
