I have large breasts. I was also born in Europe so let’s see..

1. Born in Europe? Check
2. skinny kid? check
3. skinny adult check
4. breast size genetic? NO–on both sides the women normally are 32Bs on down the line–I hit the boobie jackpot (all natural)
5. Breast cancer genes in me? NO
6. breast cancer as of yet (I am over 50) NO
7. Breast cancer in my family? NO

Okay.. in other news, scientist also found that breast cancer was more likely to occur in females, and that most breasts had nipples, and of course that all fat was bad, aspirins prevented heart attacks and that eggs were the complete food.

Junk science is when one goes only so far as observations and correlations without any real challenges or actual factual data. The only bit of truth in all of this as far as I can see, is that there is a cancer gene or gene precursor–all the rest is fishing and needless drivel–because the fact is, fat and skinny girls get cancer–women with big tatas and little bitty ones get cancer–and women with no genetic markers or family history of cancer get cancer–regardless of how big their boobs are.

Junk Science–there ought to be a law that fines any touted study or research that bases their extrapolations on sheer guesses and associations.

It sounds to me that the combination of genetic BLUE PRINT, actual genetic EXPRESSION (what size you ended up), environmental factors in your life (pollution, chemicals, medication, distress), and then any other bad luck factors is too complicated to make any kind of accurate prediction.

Best thing for any of us ladies to do is to get those mammograms and do our own checking as well. The research presented here is too maybe/kinda/sorta to be helpful.
