'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' provides information on the changes that occur in the [[microbiome]]<ref>The microbiome is the collection of all microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and their genes, that naturally live on our bodies and inside us. Although microbes are so small that they require a microscope to see them, they contribute in big ways to human health and wellness. They protect us against pathogens, help our immune system develop, and enable us to digest food to produce energy.</ref> of the [[penis]] after [[circumcision]], however it is otherwise inaccurate.

This video mentions a "Mayo clinic study". This study was not performed by Mayo clinic, or at the Mayo clinic locations, or by its staff, or commissioned by Mayo clinic. This was a very biased paper submitted by pro-circumcision advocates [[Brian J. Morris]] and [[Thomas E. Wiswell]] to ''Mayo Clinic Proceedings''.

This dated video contains totally inaccurate information about [[circumcision and HIV]] infection. The Langerhans cells in the [[foreskin]] actually protect against HIV infection. deWitte et. al. (2007) found that not only are Langerhans cells found all over the body and that their complete removal is virtually impossible, but furthermore, deWitte de Witte found that Langerhans cells that are present in the [[foreskin]] produce ''Langerin'', a substance that has been proven to kill the [[HIV]] virus on contact, acting as a natural barrier to HIV-1 transmission by Langerhans cells.<ref>{{DeWitte etal 2007}}</ref>
