I've read a lot of stuff (some well-supported or at least well-intentioned, some not so much) about this issue recently and it's good to see all the information presented clearly and in one place. A slightly nitpicky comment (only because it could confuse the meaning): In 5) Prostate Diseases, the last sentence reads "Both BPH and prostatitis are rare in INTACT dogs and both are effectively prevented and treated by castration." I believe it should say neutered dogs, in keeping with the evidence presented in the rest of the paragraph. Very well written.
