Health Buzz: One Fifth of U.S. Kids Have High Cholesterol

Your summary is already loaded towards circumcision by 1) calling the foreskin a "flap of skin" when it is (like the eyelid to the eye) an integral and significant part, with ~20,000 specialized nerves (more than the whole of the rest of the penis), arteries, veins and a a thin sheet of involuntary muscle, and unfolds to 15 sq in; 2) calling circumcision a "snip" when it is a surgical operation that can have serious consequences, up to and including death. Nobody should give their consent to the circumcision of their son who has not seen a video of it being performed, such as this one from Stanford University (not a centre of anti-circumcision activism): http://newborns.stanford.edu/Gomco.html
