Women do not have prostates
During Fukishima nuclear incident, there would be no physical issues for people >5,000 miles away
Antibiotics don't work on viruses
Vaccines
"Natural" medicines can significantly interact with other medicines
What jock itch is and the astounding amount of men who thought it was normal
