Breast Feeding “Baby Talk” Magazine Cover Sparks Controversy
I really wish people (Americans) would stop making such a big deal about the female breast. Especially as it relates to breast feeding an infant. Get over it people.
Come on, this is the twenty first friggin century, and you’re still all “ew” and “gross” over a picture of a mother’s breast feeding her infant? It is supposed to be a beautiful sight, not one that incites letters of disdain and disgust from – of all things – WOMEN!
Baby Talk is a free magazine that is popular amongst mothers and expectant mothers. This month’s cover picture features a close up of a baby on it’s mother’s breast – no nipple showing, mind you. In a poll done by the magazine to find out if this picture was acceptable, almost 1/4 of the “women” replied saying they felt it was inappropriate.
Inappropriate? Really – tell those same women thank you, that they are the reason breast feeding is still such a taboo in the US, and why women have to fight to be able to puclicly breast feed.
What a bunch of closed minded idiots. I’m sorry, this opinion may turn you off, and please by all means feel free to comment. I think we all need to get past boobies and get on with the real issues in life. Puhleease ladies, really!

Nicole Eggert’s Implants “Hideous” “I hated them”
In a Hollywood attempt to be like all the other busty babes, Nicole Eggert, a natural beauty said that when she joined the cast of Baywatch, she felt really flat, since the red bathing suits flattened you out to begin with. She said that under the typical Hollywood, and female pressures, she decided to go and get breast implants.Â
Nicole said she actually hated her breast implants and thought they looked hideous. She also said that her body was rejecting them, and she was not getting used to them after even a few years, so she chose to have her breast implatns surgically removed after having them for only a few short years.Â
Nicole also was on the show Charles in Charge for several seasons, as the cute blond in the family, and has always had a natural beauty. She quit the cast of Baywatch after two years because she said it was too much pressure and just “wasn’t what she thought it would be”. Smart girl!

Breast Asymmetry a Breast Cancer Risk?
Last post I talked about bust exercises and breast asymmetry, where women have unevenly shaped or sized breasts, and choose to either help them naturally by exercises or by surgery.
Well, upon further research on breast asymmetry, I found that this socially uncomfortable condition may actually be considered a risk factor for breast cancer.
Well, apparently the mere fact that a woman has a breast asymmetry raises her risk of breast cancer, at least according to some new studies. In the study, which specifically targeted taking a closer look at the possible link between volume, size and shape asymmetries in women’s breasts and the likelikhood of breast cancer, it was found that women with cancer had statistically higher incident of breast asymmetries when put through a mammogram.
By looking at the statistics they gathered in their study of these women, it was found that symmetrical breast development (which means normally shaped breast development) can very possibly be an indicator of a woman’s ability to tolerate uneven hormonal fluctuations while they maintain stable (even) breast development.
This study can be considered pretty important in the fight against breast cancer, since findings can point us to ways to better detect and prevent breast cancer earlier on in high risk women.

Bust Enhancing Exercises
Believe it or not, some women do not want to add size to their breasts, they merely want to improve on the breasts they have. Perhaps it may be due to pregnancy, age, or a loss of overall density to the tissue that has caused them to need firming, toning and lifting in an effort to give the bust a more rounded shape – which is currently the ideal shape in breasts these days.
Some women feel that they like the size of their boobs, but they are unhappy with the actual shaping and symmetry. Some women may get corrective breast surgery to correct it while others pursue exercise and massage routines to help naturally shape their breasts.
There is such a thing as breast asymmetry, where a woman has one breast larger than another. It is really more common than you think – at least more common than I thought.
Surgically, a woman can have breast asymmetry corrected via breast lift, breast implants, or breast reduction, to make them look more the same size, and more pleasing to the eye.
Other breast symmetry problems can be more severe, almost “deformities” like tubular breasts, where the breasts looked very skinny and hang down low, creating an unrounded, unpleasing (at least by societal standards”, less full look to the breasts. This condition alone causes many women to undergo breast augmentation surgery.

Pam Anderson, the Original Busty Babe, Getting Married?
Pamela Anderson, probably the ultimate epitome of the busty (albeit fake bust) blonde bimbo, is getting hitched to her on again man, Kid Rock. Interesting, because I remember Kid Rock once telling Howard Stern that Pamela had “hard feeling boobs”.
I for one think Pam is a gorgeous woman, but always wondered why she went so big with her last pair of breast implants. I mean, before they were big, but at least they moved. Her breast implants now seem as if they would be hard as a rock to the touch, and look as if the implant is about to explode out of her chest.
Especially for her frame – she’s way too tiny to pull the look off without looking completely fake. Downsize Pam, downsize! Sometimes there is such a thing as too much of a good thing! Ok, but I wish Pam and Kid all the best in their wedded bliss and new love for eachother!

Are Big Boobs on Their Way Out?
We go through trends every now and then, with the ideals of breasts, and it seems the big boob trend may be cooling off a little – at least in the fashionable sense.
Men will always probably be inexplicably drawn to bigger breasts, but at least in the fashion world, big boobs have come and gone. Some say we may be due for another flat chested trend!

Transumbilical Implants : What are They?
If you’ve ever done any research on breast implants, and the different methods doctors can currently use to put the implants in your chest cavity, then you’ve definitely read about transumbilical breast implants. What are they? Well they are implants that are inserted through (“trans”), the belly button (“umbilical”), or navel, however you want to say it.
This method is still not the most commonly used, with the side of the breast method of insertion and the nipple insertion being most popular today, unlike breast implants of yesterday which were primarily inserted underneath the breast, leaving a large, obvious scar to look at, which wasn’t too aesthetically pleasing.
With this method of breast implantation, most women do like the fact that the scarring is minimal, and barely noticeable or recognizeable as a breast implant scar, due to it’s inconspicuous placement.
One complaint, or theory if you will with transumbilical implants is that they have a higher risk of implant migration, which means that due to the somewhat distant origin of insertion, the implant may tend to move from it’s intended place in the chest cavity and cause a somewhat deformed look. Other than that, women seem to be generally happy with this breast implant method.

Menopause Hormone Pill Doubles Breast Cancer Risk?
Whoa, stop the presses – when I read this I thought, something that DOUBLES the risk of such a serious disease like breast cancer is still being sold here in the US? And then I kept reading on about this newest discovery, on a hormone pill given mostly to menopausal women to relieve menopause symptoms, called Estratest.Â
Estratest and other hormone pills which specifically combine estrogen and progestin in them are the culprits behind the doubled cancer risk, as far as studies can tell so far. Not only that but researchers also found higher levels of natural testosterone in women with greatly increased risk of breast cancers.Â
Women take these estrogen and progesting pills in menopause to improve their sex life (women tend to get less sexual enjoyment at menopause due to vaginal dryness, and less libido), improved density of their bones, and less hormonal mood swings and other hormone associated side effects of menopause such as hot flashes and mood swings.Â
I think it is safe to say these new findings are going to make women think a lot harder about trying these medical hormone supplements when they reach menopause from now on. Hopefully doctors are advising them the same.Â

Foods Help Breast Growth?
I think this is an interesting concept, the idea that there may be foods which can help your breasts grow bigger, but how much truth is there to this crazy theory? And will eating tons of soy products or other “hormone enhancers” really help boost your breasts to grow?Â
Well, honestly you probably cannot make your breasts grow simply by consuming certain foods, but there are some foods in the American diet that have been linked to the increasing average bra size of developing teens across America, as well as in other countries who are taking on more Americanized diets.Â
These foods that can supposedly make your breasts grow are foods that naturally contain a lot of compounds which may help to stimulate the production of more estrogen in a woman’s body such as meats (since they are usually treated with hormones), cheeses (same thing, synthetic hormones), and dairy (also treated with hormones, unless organic is purchased).Â
Other foods that may cause breasts to grow more would be foods that are naturally higher in phytoestrogens, those compounds that we’ve all heard so much about now, which act as real estrogen in the body, but are derived from plant life. These are found in soy product abundantly, as well as many seeds and spices.

Another Male Breast Question
I seem to be getting quite a few inquiries about how men can increase their breast size lately, and a lot of questions on which male breast enhancement products work for most men.Â
I hate to answer this question as a “yes, it will work on every man” answer, because we all know that there is not a product on earth that will work the same on every person, or every man who wants to grow breasts for that matter.Â
You will see links to the products recommended most for male breast enhancement throughout, so feel free to take a look at the options. They do work for many men. Some it takes longer, others see results right away – it works like it works for women, basically.Â
Here is his question (of course, names are always withheld for privacy concerns) :
“yes i am a male that would like to grow breasts, i am
woundering if your breast pills really work,or if only works on some males,
can some one explane to me if i should try this product, name withheld”
