The other day, my friends and I were discussing about boops and how being a mother and breastfeeding our babies have changed the size and appearance of  our breasts.  I used to have pretty ‘full’ boops before marriage.  After I had Alycia, the boops were even fuller *GRIN*  Then came Sherilyn. After breastfeeding her for 6 months, the fullness in my boops seemed to have vanished, as if my baby had sucked away all the fat.  My ‘assets and reserves’ shrunk to a pathetic state after feeding Cass 3 years of my precious milk. She was addicted to my boops and they gave her so much comfort each time she went through hell during the first 1.5 years of her sickly life.

Honestly, I do feel disappointed with my shrunken boops.   But you know what?  Having small breasts do have its advantages!  After all, how happy your man is in the room is not dependent on the size of your boops. I am sure you will agree with me on this, eh? 😉

And do read what I found after Googling around…

Women with a large bust may be more likely to develop breast cancer, according to scientists.

A study of 16,000 women found genetic mutations associated with breast size were also linked to the disease.

Researchers say some of these are involved in regulating the female sex hormone oestrogen, which can trigger the growth of both breasts and tumours.

While research has linked breast density – the amount of non-fat tissue – to an increased risk of cancer, there has been little evidence of a link with breast size before.

Participants in the study, carried out by a US company, were asked to give their bra size on a 10-point scale from smaller than AAA to larger than DDD.

The genetic code of the women – all of European origin – was read by scientists who looked through millions of tiny mutations in their DNA, called single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Out of seven that were strongly linked to breast size, three were also associated with breast cancer.

For those of you who are blessed with voluptuous boops, worry not.  I believe that by sticking to a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle, cutting out on processed food and junk food along with being a little diligent with your exercise regimen, the cancer cells in us will remain dormant.  Staving off stress from eating us is also very important.

Did you know that around 3,000 to 6,000 cancer cells are created each day in healthy people? Even though these cancer cells are made, the immune cells inhibit the growth of cancer cells and prevent tumor masses from growing within our body. However, unless a person’s immune system is compromised, everyone has an immune system that can fight off cancer. If there is a normal immune system, it can inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
