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.

    I know is some women it can cause back problems. in high school I knew a girl with really big boobs and told me about how she wanted a reduction. I might of been one of the few guys to encourage her and she had it done and looked better.

    Even if it was shown to be bad for your health, it wouldn't stop people from wanting them. Fast food, smoking, and drinking have all been shown to be bad for you, do you see demand for those things going down? lol

    Everything is "bad" for you these days! If the breasts are too huge and out of proportion with the rest of the body then by all means get a reduction! Other than that, "if it aint broke dont fix it"! Every years there's a new "this is bad for you" trend. If my breasts were bigger, I'd be trying to make some money with them! ;)

    Back problems is the first thing to come to my mind when I see women with enormous breasts. Back problems and balance is why Dolly Parton had a reduction.

    These risks cited, except for the one about breastfeeding, are all true of any obesity.

    And then there are the tried and true problems with large breasts - back pain, bra straps leaving dents in shoulders - reasons why insurance companies actually pay for breast reduction surgery. Giant breasts are very hard on the wearer.
