Another "experiment" in information delivery. Please let me know in replies what you think.

In this @Malecare presentation, Dr. Jeffrey Jones, a Navy Urologist and flight surgeon, dives deep into the link between military service and prostate cancer. With experience treating both veterans and astronauts, Dr. Jones explores how epigenetics, radiation, and chemical exposures unique to military life may increase cancer risk. He discusses the potential long-term effects of radiation from high-altitude flights, depleted uranium in ammunition, and burn pits. Dr. Jones also highlights racial disparities in prostate cancer outcomes and how the military healthcare system is closing the gap. Watch to learn more about the "cocktail effect" of environmental factors on health and the importance of early diagnosis.
