Pokemunna, jynx said that it's not the pokemon gene that directly causes cancer, which is what the article says. She didn't say that genes don't cause cancer.
 
XD That's hilarious. *goes to post article at her own forums*

Yes it is genes that cause cancer. And genes that cause cancer are called Oncogenes or Ontogenes.

However, what I said was pok erythroid myeloid ontogenic factor ("pokemon") was NOT the gene (oncogene) that directly cause cancer.

It is OTHER oncogenes that caused cancer, but the fact is, "POKEMOn" is the switch of MOST oncogenes. Once "POKEMOn" is switched off, other oncogenes cannot be activated.

Understand?
 
I heard about this...

@.@ Nothing to worry about, in fact, I'm glad about this vital bit of research!
 
Meh, medical people are confuzzled. They say things like "Caffein hurts your liver!" and a few years later, "It prevents diabetes!" Weee....I dun trust medical research so pHoOeY.
Plus, I didn' understand a single word in that article so PhOoEy again..
 
I'm sorry Radical Edward but you have revived a thread that is over one month old. I will PM Jorge asking him to lock it. ^^;
