Are women’s breasts getting too big?

That’s what one author is saying in a new book Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History, Medical Daily reported. According to her research, author Florence Williams found that the average bra size for women in the U.S. has increased from 34 B to 36 C – a trend that Williams says isn’t as good as it sounds.

Williams outlines numerous unpleasant reasons that may be contributing to expanding bra sizes, such as women’s expanding waistlines – a factor that has been linked with increased risk of breast cancer.

Another culprit behind growing cups is early onset puberty, another precursor for breast cancer, Medical Daily said. According to a 2010 study in Pediatrics, 15 percent of American girls start to get breast tissue when they’re only seven years old.

Once a woman develops large breasts, she’s put at a greater risk of pollution exposure. Bigger breasts have a much higher concentration of fatty tissue, and according to Medical Daily, the body stores toxic chemicals in its fat cells. This means big breasts could be storing dangerous compounds such as mercury or chemicals found in pesticides and paints.

To make matters worse, the more these chemicals are stored in the breast tissue, the more likely they are to be transferred into a woman’s breast milk and passed along to her newborn children.

    Nice to look at, but I like nipples more than big breasts.

    One reason for the increase are that women are becoming super estriginated from plastics (Xenoestrogens Bisphenol A and Octylphenol ) and so are the boys, they are getting feminised and also some now also get breast cancer. Milk is full of growth hormones too.

    Since those titties are so big, it has to have more blood to flow through them, this means that it has to take the surplus of blood from the brain to the titties... Which is why women with big titties are usually dumbasses...

    You have to choose between having big titties or being really smart... can't have both...

    Actually .. add back and posture problems too as part of the difficulty that women face with their bodies .. (including pain from incorrect bra fittings too)
    (it is not totally fair to say this is all based on weight .. or early puberty ..)
    what was genetically passed down to the female ..
    is what you have by nature's intent ..

    To the extent that woment with large breasts may tend to be heavier there may be a link to health, but it's because they are heavier not because they are racked. Not that there aren't a good number of women who are large breasted and relatively thin.

    They can make an excellent counterbalance in some sports however.

    Even though I wouldn't trust anything from Fox news I think its pretty common knowledge that large breast can be bad for your health.

    Well, how big is too big? For the most part larger breasts come with a large body and often an apple shaped body which means more fat near the heart. Larger breasts due to implants are probably not healthy either.
