Facebook have banned photos while in their full functioning natural glory, yet happy to let through posts exposing them in explicit, salacious angles.
They can be the absolute centre of a woman’s self-esteem (or lack thereof).
They’re caressed, joked about, loved, hated, admired, envied, adored. They can be the main reason for extreme feelings of absolute comfort. It only takes finding one pea-sized lump to cause absolute dread.
To kick of its science season, on Sunday, April 6 at 8:30pm, will commence its upcoming series, “The Tales of the Unexpected” with “The Secret Life of Breasts”
Breasts are getting bigger and lingerie shops who sell out in size D cups (and bigger) will attest to this.
Studies in the US show that girls as young as seven have started puberty.
While “man boobs” are considered”unnatural”, why have they suddenly become more common?
What are the causes? Do we need to be concerned?
Doctors and researchers are beginning to speculate synthetic and man-made chemicals in our immediate environment could possibly trigger hormones causing imbalance, resulting in outcomes considered unnatural for our body.
At one extreme, it’s been suggested that plastics, paint fumes, perfumes, deodorants, packaged foods, furniture and even stepping into new cars are all to be avoided. Especially for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Furthermore, for a breast feeding mother this could lead to the presence of toxins in the milk she feeds her baby.
“The Secret Life of Breasts”show 10 breastfeeding mums having their Liquid Gold analyzed and tested. The results are surprising.
Looking at the scientific structure of the female breast, we are made aware that this astounding mammary gland is made up of tissue and fat. Lots of fat.
Such synthetic chemicals absorb most effectively to fat and what better place to call home than the breast?
Can our breasts actually tell us more about our environment than we realise?
Do the answers really lie in the heart of the bosom?
Guess you’ll just have to tune in on Sunday night and find out.
If you’re a science enthusiast, you’ll find this one fascinating.

Sounds fascinating, I shall put an alarm in my calendar to watch this! These old saggy milk bags have fed five babies, I’d love to know what’s in my milk!

Thanks for the heads up! Very interesting. (And D cup. I can’t believe that’s some people’s natural size. Even pregnant and breastfeeding, I didn’t quite make it!)

hmmm, the thing that caught my eye in all that was the increase in man boobs (not being funny, that’s intriguing) – is it more overweight people or is it hormones in what we eat???

I’ve always been suspicious of plastics and hormones in the water supply and what they’re doing to us. Can’t wait to watch this!

I have man boobs, but I am also overweight. I wonder if (hope they will) disappear as I lose more weight. A skinny guy with man boobs is not a look I want to try… Thanks for bringing our attention to the program – SBS is great, isn’t it?

Totally knew most of boobs were fat, as mine have always been quite big and when I’m carrying weight it’s in boobs and tummy – BOO! And I’m an F right now, can’t see it getting back to my DD form BC (before children) but you never know! I will be switching on – love me docos x
Emily @ Have A Laugh On Me recently posted..Why pouring milk down the sink is great for your mental health
Thank you for the heads up, I’ll be watching this, very interesting topic, especially as I’m still feeding. I know all too well that boobs are fat, as that’s where I carry it (along with my tummy).

Sounds interesting, will check it out (from one who’s always suffered a little ‘breast envy’) 🙂

Funny how Breast are okay to show on Facebook but Breastfeeding is not? Facebook has some really weird rules.
I totally get how plastics, paint fumes, perfumes, deodorants, packaged foods, furniture and even stepping into new cars are all to be avoided with women – but it shouldn’t be just when they are breastfeeding.
What I don’t get is why when Women are being treated for Breast cancer, and the Cancer Foundation rings a family member to carry out a study into the leading causes of why that lady has cancer, do they not ASK about lifestyle? They ask about family history, yes that’s important, but why do they NOT look at how that person eats, exercise, lives, stress and so forth….we have seen what lifestyle can do to a person and yet that’s not even discussed. Really scary how treatment is not considering what a person needs to do to change their health.

Wow, this does sound fascinating. I know there has to be a consequence to all the chemicals we consume or breathe in. You kinda got me scared with the pregnant women not entering new cars since we just purchased one and I’m pregnant! I will have to watch the show to get more understanding.
