When one hears the wordCANCER, there is often atwinge in the stomach. Yetcancer prevention and cancercures, along with advancedlife-extending projections,are increasing every minute.

All over the world scientists, phar-maceutical houses and laboratory re-searchers are discovering new thingsabout cancer.

While no one wants to have it, we know that 1.3 millionpeople, worldwide, die from lung cancer, annually, todaythere is HOPE! The number of cases of remission and cureare growing triple-fold, and receiving a cancer diagnosis,today, need not be a death sentence.

Leading the way, for over 55 years in female cancers,particularly gynecologic cancer,has been Dr. Roland A. Pattillo.

A graduate of St. Louis Univer-sity Medical School, with Resi-dency at the Medical College ofWisconsin, and an Oncology Fel-lowship certification under theworld-famous, Dr.George Gey ofthe John Hopkins School of Medi-cine, Dr. Pattillo was intrigued bythe study of cancer as a Pre-Medstudent at Xavier University inNew Orleans.

His chemistry professor hadpermitted him to do studies onsome new cells that had been dis-covered to be capable of livingoutside the body, with prolific re-generation capacity, as well.

His professor had called thesecells HELA, and with hydroxyurea, an antidote, they werestudying what happens to humancervical cancer cells..

For a young doctor aspirant,these studies made a real impact,as throughout these 60 plus years,Dr. Roland Pattillo has been work-ing toward the cure for cancer.And, those cells, the cells of HEN-RIETTA LACKS (HELA) remain atreasured scientific baseline of hiscontinued study, and an intellec-tual repository for trillions aroundthe world.

Many will remember the manynews articles about Dr. Pattillo’swork here in Milwaukee and hun-dreds of families sought his con-sult for family members, locallyand throughout the country.

Additionally, noted doctors,worldwide, have invited him tospeak, to share, to give his expe-rience on specific cases; and theLectureships have led to manynew discoveries, internationally.

A best of Henrietta Lacks was un-vield shown in the photos on thispage) during the 20th annual HelaConference held on the campus ofMorehouse University’s School ofMedicine. The sculpture was commis-sioned by Dr. Roland Patillo, who firstinitiated the conference 20 years ago.The sculpture was created by notedsculptor Jonas Perkins. It will be dis-played permanently at the MorehouseSchool of Medicine. “Hela” stands forHenrietta Lacks and is the name givento the cells that have become thebenchmark of female cancers, espe-cially gynecologic cancer. This yearsconference focused on precision med-icine and health equity. Lacks’ storyhas been detailed in a bestselling bookthat outlined how her cervical cellshas benefitted millions of individualsthrough research that has yielded agreat deal of scientific information.

However, Dr. Pattillo has alsowanted to ensure that the sciencehas been married to the personal,the patient, and he has led a sin-gle-effort campaign for over 20years to have people know thatHELA was also a person. His de-votion to Henrietta, the woman,led him to meet the Lacks familyand interface individually withthem.

He has taken on an almost pro-tective father image over theirrights as individuals and as a fam-ily, while also working to make cer-tain that the legacy of Henriettawould be forever known.

And the ethical questions of re-muneration for the use of one’scells should never be repeated,without knowledge and consent.

This personal connection, toHenrietta, the woman, mother,neighbor, and most importantlythe patient, led Pattillo to establishthe Morehouse School of Medi-cine’s Annual HELA CONFER-ENCE.

Held each September on theMorehouse School of Medicine’scampus, the HELA Conferencehas brought professionals fromevery collaborative scientific field,including National Institute ofHealth; the US. Surgeon Gen-eral’s office; the American CancerSociety, the Georgia Departmentof Health; many pharmaceuticalcompanies with new drugs or thestudies associated with antici-pated drugs already in thepipeline, plus thousands of patientstudies that can be shared withprofessionals for laboratory data,statistics, outcomes or concernswhen viewed, analyzed, and cri-tiqued.

The annual HELA Conference,of 1996, with specific papersrecorded in the Journal of Obstet-rics and Gynecology, was read byRebecca Skloot, now noted authorof the multi-million dollar seller, “The Immortal Life of HenriettaLacks”, published in 2010.

Dr. Pattillo had introduced Re-becca Skloot to the Lacks family.Deborah Lacks, the daughter,never lived to see the book, nor

meet the many people who bene-fitted from HELA cells, but sheopenly shared the story, hopingthat people would come to knowthe mother she was not blessed toknow, as she was too young.

Henrietta Lacks died at theyoung age of 31 years, leavingfive children, including her baby,Zakariyya, who was less than ayear old.

Today, the world knows thatHELA stands for Henrietta Lacks.Millions have read the book andtrillions more are the beneficiary ofher cells, through research stud-ies, and prescriptions taken for in-numerable ailments, not justcancer.

Daily we each should utter,“thank you Henrietta”, for her cellscontinue to proliferate, after 60plus years, and they continue tobe used because they give somuch scientific information.

The 20th Annual HELA Confer-ence, in Atlanta, Friday and Satur-day, September 18 and 19th onthe Morehouse School of Medi-cine campus, had over 500 partic-ipants.

Friday’s sessions focused on“Precision Medicine and HealthEquity”, with Dr. Valarie Mont-gomery Rice, President/Dean ofthe medical school welcoming allparticipants.

Dr. Montgomery Rice is the firstfemale to lead this magnanimousinstitution that provides some ofthe best doctors, particularly mi-nority health professionals, in thefield of medicine today.

Over the course of the day, Dr.Montgomery Rice also presidedover the unveiling of the HenriettaLacks sculpture, created byrenowned sculptor, Jonas Perkins,whose bust of the late Maya An-gelou stands in the SmithsonianInstitute in Washington, D.C.Commissioned by Dr. Pattillo andhis wife, Patricia, as a permanentpiece for the medical school, thebronze bust, of museum qualityand stature, should become adaily reminder to MorehouseSchool of Medicine students and

HENRIETTA LACKS, a poor,married, African American motherof five, died at 31 in Baltimorefrom a vicious form of cervical can-cer. During her treatment at JohnsHopkins Hospital and after herdeath there in 1951, researchersharvested some of her tumor cells.This wasn’t unusual. Though Lacksconsented to treatment, no oneasked permission to take her cells;the era’s scientists considered itfair to conduct research on patientsin public wards since they werebeing treated for free. What was unusual waswhat happened next.Doctors needed human cells to study cervical can-

cer’s progression, but despite decades of effortthey had been unable to keep human cells alive inculture. “Henrietta’s were different: They repro-duced an entire generation every 24 hours, andthey never stopped,” writes Rebecca Skloot, a sci-ence journalist, in her new book The Immortal Lifeof Henrietta Lacks. “They became the first immor-tal cells ever grown in a laboratory.”They also became famous. Labeled HeLa, they

were at first given away free to any researcherwho asked. By 1952, they were being mass-pro-duced at Tuskegee Institute (ironically, at thesame time the notorious Tuskegee Syphilis Studywas being conducted on unsuspecting and un-treated black men), then sent to polio centers na-tionwide to test the efficacy of the new Salkvaccine. They “grew like crabgrass in laboratories

around the world” and went up inthe second satellite ever in orbit,Skloot writes. “By the 1960s, Hen-rietta’s cells were everywhere: Thegeneral public could grow HeLa athome using instructions from a Sci-entific American do-it-yourself arti-cle.”Lacks, however, remained largely

unknown. When Skloot began her10-year quest for the womanwhose unstoppable cell line hadsaved millions of lives, HeLa cellshad been variously attributed to

Helen Lane, Helen Larson, even actress HedyLamarr. Given the medical breakthroughs they en-abled, one sees why the mystery of Henrietta’sidentify and the fate of her family fascinatedSkloot. HeLa had helped unlock the secrets of can-cer and various viruses and been essential to thedevelopment of in vitro fertilization, cloning andgene mapping. A multibillion-dollar industry had grown from

their sale and distribution, yet Lacks’ family hadreceived no financial compensation and virtuallyno recognition beyond their exploitation by a fewjournalists. The irony of the Lacks’ marginal eco-nomic status and inadequate health care was notlost on Henrietta’s daughter Deborah. “If ourmother’s cells done so much for medicine, howcome her family can’t afford to see no doctors?”she asked.--Excerpted from an article titled, “MedicalEthics, Race, and Henrietta Lacks’ ‘Magic’ Cells,” writtenby Valerie Ann Johnson for MsMagazine.com blog

staff that the first major disclosureof Henrietta Lacks as an AfricanAmerican woman happened thereat the Medical school site; and theannual conference has been theimpetus for major science fromcancer leaders, domestically andworldwide, since 1995.

The ravages of polio, an interna-tional pandemic were quelled withthe development of the polio vac-cine.

The cells from which Dr.GeorgeGey meticulously worked to de-stroy polio, were from HenriettaLacks.

Feared as we recently feared E-bola, there was no cure and mil-lions of children, were dyingduring the early 1940’s from thisdevastating disease.

Many of us recall people perma-nently crippled or some who livedby use of the iron lung machines.

When the HELA cells werefound to be the right agent for de-velopment of the vaccine,Tuskegee University in Tuskegee,Alabama became the manufactur-ing location of trillions of polio vac-cines that were distributedthroughout the world.

Today, only sporadic cases ofpolio are recorded and they are allfrom patients who never receivedthe polio vaccine. “Thank youHenrietta.”

The Hela Conference has madethat story known. Uterine cancer,a difficult cancer to diagnose untiloften late in its progression, wasaffecting many mothers, celebri-ties, and professionals.

No one understood this diseaseand through study and health tri-als, they learned the disease orig-inates from exposure to HPV, thehuman papilloma virus.

Through use of HELA cells andmany pharmaceutical studies andFDA approval, we finally haveGardasil.

Gardasil is recommended forboys and girls as a regular vaccinethat should be given to eliminateHPV.

The United States is still behindiin encouraging Gardasil orCerverix for pre-sex adolescents.

Often religious views exemptthe medical science.

But vaccinating young boys andgirls are the only way to precludetransmission of HPV, beyond ab-stinence.

And while teen pregnancies aredefinitely declining, HPV relatedcancers of the head, neck andthroat are increasing, so weshould take another look at HPVvaccines, within the community.

“Thank you, Henrietta”. Uterinecancers are preventable, today.Currently many studies continuewith new pharmaceuticals for

many cancers and other diseases.In fact, most diseases, usingHELA cells, now in conjunctionwith other cells, harvested frompatients, with authorizations andsignatures, are being studied,chronicled and the data is beingshared.

That is the significance of re-search, major papers and patientsagreeing to participate in clinicaltrials.

Among African Americans, a un-derlying distrust of clinical trialsseems to be dissipating and thatis critical in science for while weare all alike, we are sometimes dif-ferent.

Variables such as lifestyle, age,gender, economic and socio-eco-nomic differentials do factor. So,when the opportunity for clinicaltrials do present themselves it isimperative to investigate fully, askquestions, know the expected out-comes, the length of the studies,how they will use the data col-lected. These are pertinent ques-tions to ask but also remember ittakes research.

The strategies available to mostpatients today have come on thewings of major clinical trials. Andwhen we are part of those trials,our data has to have impact in theoutcomes.

For example, Dr. Vivian Penn,who led the Roland A. Pattillo An-nual Lectureship at the 2015 HelaConference, continued to re-iter-ate, it is important that women par-ticipate in the studies, not justAfrican Americans becausewomen’s participation impactdosage, frequency, and other vari-ables.

Many excitingfindings wereshared during the

conference, led by DepartmentChairman, Dr. Roland Matthewsand Co-Chair, Dr. Pattillo, Profes-sor Emeritus. Major speakers in-cluded: Dr. E. J. Perez-Stable,new Director of the National Insti-tute of Minority Health and Dispar-ities, Rear Admiral SylviaTrent-Adams, Deputy SurgeonGeneral, Dr. Otis Brawley, ChiefMedical Officer of the AmericanCancer Society, Dr. BrendaFitzgerald, Georgia State PublicHealth Commissioner, Dr. IreneDankwa Mullan, Deputy Directorof Extramural Scientific Programsat the National Institute of

Minority Health and Disparities;Dr. Lynn Rosenberg, Associate Di-rector of Sloan Epidemiology Cen-ter of Boston University School ofPublic Health, Dr. Rathi Pillai,Asst. Professor of Hematology atWinship Cancer Institute at EmoryUniversity and Dr. Eva McGhee,Asst. Professor at Charles DrewMedical School.

The Lacks family present in-cluded, Mrs Shirley Lacks, thewife of David Lacks, the third childof Henrietta and David Lacks; herdaughter Geri Lacks Whyte andher daughters Ayana and Jubraia,and Tony Lacks, the daughter ofLawrence Lacks, Henrietta’s old-est child.

Regrettably Lawrence, Davidand Zakaryya, her sons, are notwell, and could not be present.

Daughters, Deborah and Lucyare deceased. The family is grate-ful for the legacy that continues togrow and expand.

A continued effort for a declara-tion of a national celebration in

honor of Henrietta Lacks is beingformulated through Change.organd interested parties can sign thepetition.

Women’s ability totake time off work tocare for themselvesor their families is ahealth issue

MADISON, WI – The WisconsinAlliance for Women’s Health(WAWH) applauds state Repre-sentative Sondy Pope and stateSenator Janis Ringhand for intro-ducing a bill that would create aWisconsin Family and MedicalLeave Insurance program.

If enacted, this law would makeit possible for Wisconsin workersto take paid time off from work totake care of their own serioushealth condition, to care for a fam-ily member with a serious healthcondition, or care for a new baby.

“Access to paid family and med-

ical leave is an extremely impor-tant issue for working women andhas a direct impact on their per-sonal health and financial health,”said Sara Finger, WAWH Execu-tive Director. “The burden of ourinadequate paid family and med-ical leave policies falls dispropor-tionately on women, who make upnearly half of the workforce but arestill far more likely than men tocare for children or other familymembers who are sick.”

The United States is the only in-dustrialized country in the worldthat doesn’t provide workers withany type of guaranteed paid leave.

Nationally, only 12% of workershave paid family leave throughtheir employers and fewer than40% have personal medical leavethrough an employer-providedshort-term disability program.

As a result, workers who take

time off to take care for them-selves or their families often facea significant loss of income.

Other states have begun to ef-fectively address this issue. Cal-ifornia, New Jersey and RhodeIsland have enacted state insur-ance programs that provideworkers with paid family leave.

Even though both the federaland Wisconsin Family MedicalLeave Acts (FMLA's) do provideimportant protections to someworkers, a significant portion ofthe workforce is not eligible forthese protections and bothFMLA's only provide for unpaidtime off, which is not financiallypossible for many employees.The Wisconsin Family and Med-ical Leave Insurance Act willcover far more workers and pro-

vide all eligible workers who needto take a leave from work with paidleave so that they can actually af-ford to do so.

“If our elected leaders are trulycommitted to improving the healthand economic security of Wiscon-sin women and their families, theyshould seize the opportunity pre-sented by this proposal to help en-sure that we have a healthyworkforce and healthy economy,”added Finger.

For more information and statis-tics regarding how paid family andmedical leave insurance wouldbenefit workers, and women work-ers in particular, see page 21 ofthe National Women’s Law Centerreport Moving Women and Fami-lies Forward: a state roadmap toeconomic justice.

(Family Features) When parents prepare theirkids’ meals, good-for-you foods like veggies,whole grains and milk are usually on the menu.And while parents encourage healthy eating fortheir kids at mealtime, they don’t always eat thesame foods themselves.

In fact, a recent report from the 2015 Dietary Guidelines AdvisoryCommittee (DGAC) suggests kids may actually have healthier eatinghabits than adults. Kids ages 2 to 3 scored highest for diet quality, whileadults scored significantly lower, according to the latest Healthy EatingIndex research.

Look to your kid’s plate for a reminder on how you can make betterchoices and get more of the nutrients you need. Here are three ideasto get you started:

Kids Eat Smaller Portions. One reason kids eat less is because theystart with less. Consider making yourself a “kid’s plate” to manage por-tion sizes. Still hungry? Eat healthy snacks in sensible portions. Snack-ing may help stave off hunger and prevent overeating at your next meal.Look for a balanced snack with high-quality protein to help keep youfuller longer.

Kids Drink Milk. Milk accompanies kids’ meals. In fact, children 8years and younger are the only ones meeting the recommendedamount of milk and milk products. According to a study from the Na-

The fight against breast cancermay begin in the kitchen. A newstudy suggests that women candramatically reduce their risk ofthe disease by following a versionof the Mediterranean diet thatgoes heavy on extra virgin oliveoil.

Data from a large, randomizedclinical trial show that women who

did so were 62% less likely to bediagnosed with breast cancercompared with women who weresimply asked to reduce the overallamount of fat in their diets.

The results were publishedMonday in the journal JAMA Inter-nal Medicine.

The clinical trial, known asPREDIMED, was designed to as-sess the cardiovascular benefits ofthe Mediterranean diet, which em-phasizes fruits, vegetables, whole

grains, fish and olive oil. Partici-pants were randomly assigned toone of three groups - Mediter-ranean diet supplemented withextra virgin olive oil, Mediter-ranean diet supplemented withmixed nuts, or a regular low-fatdiet.

After tracking nearly 7,500 peo-ple for about five years, the re-searchers had compellingevidence that those who were oneither type of Mediterranean diethad better heart health than their

counterparts who weren't. The trialwas ended in 2010.

Although the study's main focuswas cardiovascular disease, re-searchers also tracked the inci-dence of five types of cancer,including breast cancer.

Among the 4,282 women whoparticipated in the trial, there were35 confirmed cases of invasivebreast cancer.

(Cases of ductal carcinoma insitu, or Stage 0 breast cancer,were not tracked.)

The risk of being diagnosed withinvasive breast cancer was high-est for women who were advisedto eat less fat - 2.9 cases for every1,000 person-years.

That compared to a diagnosisrate of 1.8 cases per 1,000 per-son-years for women who were onthe Mediterranean diet with extranuts and a rate of 1.1 cases per1,000 person-years for womenwho were on the Mediterraneandiet with additional extra virginolive oil.

tional Cancer Institute, eight out of 10 adults don’t meet the recommen-dations of three servings each day. Milk is the top food source of cal-cium, vitamin D and potassium for both kids and adults – three nutrientsidentified as nutrients of concern (that is, those most Americans aren’tgetting enough of) by the DGAC’s report.

So, missing out on milk likely means missing out on important nutri-ents your body needs, because research shows it is hard to get enoughof these nutrients in your diet without the recommended amounts ofmilk each day.

Plus, many experts now recommend 25 to 30 grams of protein ateach meal. An 8-ounce glass of milk has 8 grams of high-quality protein,so pairing it with your breakfast is a great way to boost the protein powerof your morning meal.

Some creative ideas for more “adult ways” to work in milk servingsinclude a Classic Latte, Green Smoothie or a bowl of Hearty Oatmealmade with milk in the morning. For these recipes and more, visit Milk-Life.com.

Kids Eat When Hungry. Ever try to feed kids when they’re not hungry?You likely wound up with most of the food on the floor or still left on theirplates. Kids tend to do a better job than adults of ending a meal whenthey are full. Learn to identify how it feels to be comfortable, not stuffed,after a meal.

So at your next meal, watch the choices your kids make – you mightpick up some cues for how to eat (and drink) better yourself.

Tips to Keep Your Child with Diabetes Safe at School(Family Features) Diabetes is one of

the most common chronic diseases inchildren, according to Griffin P. Rodgers,MD, MACP, director of the National Insti-tute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kid-ney Diseases of the National Institutes ofHealth (NIH).

Keeping children with diabetes safe during the schoolday and during school-sponsored activities requires com-munication and cooperation between the student, their par-ents or caregivers, the student’s health care team andschool staff.

“Nobody knows your child’s day-to-day needs and howto respond to a diabetes emergency better than you,”Rodgers says. “That’s why it is so important to maintainopen communication with school staff throughout theschool year.”

Parents and school personnel can learn about effectiveways to help keep children with diabetes safe by reviewingthe National Diabetes Education Program’s (NDEP) Help-

ing the Student with Diabetes Succeed: A Guide for SchoolPersonnel. The NDEP is a program of the National Insti-tutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention.

The NDEP encourages parents of children with diabetesto follow these tips from the School Guide throughout theyear.

Take action. Notify the school immediately when yourchild is diagnosed with diabetes. Share your child’s medicalinformation with school staff and provide up-to-date emer-gency contact numbers.

Work with your child’s health care team to develop a Di-abetes Medical Management Plan. This plan contains themedical orders for your child.

It should be signed by your child’s health care team andsubmitted to the school nurse at the start of each schoolyear.

An updated plan is needed if there are changes in yourchild’s diabetes care plan during the year. A sample plan isincluded in NDEP’s School Guide.

Meet with the school nurse to review your child’s schoolhealth care plans. The school nurse will use the medicalorders to prepare your child’s routine and emergency dia-

betes care plans at school. You can find samples of theseplans in the School Guide. You should also meet with theschool nurse and staff to familiarize them with any special-ized diabetes equipment that your child uses, such as aninsulin (IN-suh-lin) pump and/or continuous glucose moni-tor (CGM).

Remember to provide written instructions about the useof the equipment and troubleshooting guidelines.

Provide the school with all supplies, medicines, and itemsneeded to carry out your child’s health care and emergencyplans.

These supplies may include blood sugar (glucose) testingitems, supplies for taking insulin, urine and blood ketonetesting, snacks, quick-acting glucose products, and aglucagon (GLOO-kuh-gon) kit.

(Family Features) Never beforehas there been a way for thenearly 6.5 million stroke survivorsin the United States to rally to-gether as they travel the path torecovery.

Unlike other survivor communi-ties, there is no banner, symbol orcolor that survivors and the gen-eral public can identify with whenit comes to stroke and stroke re-covery.

That is changing with the launch

of National Stroke Association’sCome Back Strong initiative, thefirst national movement to rally forstroke recovery. It was created toinspire hope following a stroke, sothose survivors now have a voice.

“This is a history-making mo-ment for the stroke community,”said Matt Lopez, CEO of NationalStroke Association.

“Survivors and their caregivershave been asking for a unifiedmessage, a symbol, a color to

support them as they come backstrong from stroke.

“As a stroke survivor myself, Iunderstand the desire to return toour normal selves that drivesstroke survivors forward. ComeBack Strong serves as a startingpoint to hope that one day peopleeverywhere will understand whata stroke is, how to avoid one andthe real opportunity that exists tocome back strong after stroke.”

The movement, created to raiseawareness about the fifth-leadingcause of death in the UnitedStates, is centered on a blue re-turn symbol. Intentionally leftopen, it represents the drive forstroke survivors to come backstrong and return to their formerself, or a new normal. The realityof stroke survivors is a story ofsudden and shocking loss fol-lowed by a return to hope for re-covery. In the aftermath of astroke, recovery is about gettingback to normal life and living as in-dependently as possible.

“Since my stroke in 2005, I’velearned to walk again, talk again,even swallow again,” said MarkMcEwen, former national TVmorning show host. “As I gotstronger, I got busy and discov-ered a whole community of strokesurvivors and caregivers.

“But throughout my recoveryjourney, there was always some-thing gnawing at me. Whenever Isaw a yellow wristband or distinc-tive ribbon, I thought, ‘Why notus?’ The Come Back Strongmovement changes that. This, fi-nally, is for us. It’s important andpowerful, and will raise strokeawareness in a hugely impactfulway.”

TEARS OF JOY:Crying at themovies can makeyou feel betterArticle courtesy of The Cheat Sheet via “The Run-down”

In our macho-revering world, the idea of men showing excessiveemotion is rarely acceptable. On the contrary, guys are supposed tobe constantly composed. And even if you're internally freaking out,you better not show it by shedding a tear. Well these stereotypicalmasculine norms are now being challenged by a new study publishedin Motivation and Emotion. According to researchers, having a goodcry can have it's health perks.

In a recent study conducted at the University of Tilburg in theNetherlands, researcher Asmir Gračanin observed both the immedi-ate and delayed effects of crying on subjects' mood.

In the experiment, subjects were shown classic tear-inducingmovies, La vita è bella and Hachi: A Dog's Tale. Of the 60 partici-pants, 28 cried and 32 did not.

Following the screening, they were asked to assess their mood, firstimmediately, then 20 minutes, and finally 90 minutes after. Unsurpris-ingly, the non-criers didn't experience a change in mood after theevent.

Contrastingly the participants who cried felt really low after thefilms. But within 20 minutes, their moods returned to their pre-filmlevel. After 90 minutes, those who cried actually had a higher moodthan they did before the films.

So what did this tell researchers? According to Gračanin, "After theinitial deterioration of mood following crying, it takes some time for themood not only to recover but also to be lifted above the levels atwhich it had been before the emotional event," reports Springer.

This could be due to the fact that the drop in emotion followed by areturn to equilibrium may make people feel like they're in a much bet-ter mood after they've shed a few tears. But the researchers of thisstudy are pretty sure that having a good cry is ultimately beneficial incoping with and moving past an emotionally stressful event.

So the next time you feel that welling from behind your tear ducts(even if it's just because the ending of Marley & Me really got to you)don't be afraid to let a few slide. Not only is it totally fine for a dude tocry, but science has proven it's important for emotional health andwell-being.
