The Truth About Mammograms And Other Breast Myths
By Janet Martin

Do mammograms cause breast cancer? Can you get a one-hour boob job at lunch? Is 36 inches the ideal breast size? When it comes to breast health, the questions are endless, more so since this particular part of a woman’s anatomy attracts a lot of attention from both men and women.

But even the simplest question can be difficult to answer owing to the many myths and misconceptions surrounding the female breast. As a public service to readers, the maker of the Clevastin natural breast enhancement system presents these common breast myths and the facts behind them. Read them and put all those crazy ideas to rest.

The ideal breast size is 36 inches. False. There is no ideal breast size since women come in different shapes and sizes. Some have small breasts while others have large breasts. All this is normal since breast size has no bearing whatsoever in a woman’s ability to enjoy sex or nurse a baby. While some men prefer bigger breasts since they appear more erotic, more comforting, and very inviting, others are happy with smaller sizes. The bottom line: If a man truly loves you, he won’t mind what breast size you have.

You can get a boob job over lunch. False. Last July 9, the British trade magazine Chemistry & Industry reported that women could get bigger breasts in an hour during lunch break via a special procedure that would soon be available. The report said this would be accomplished by transplanting belly fat into those “troubled” boobs. The story spread like wildfire and was picked up by blogs and news Web sites. Even enterprising plastic surgeons began granting interviews about a procedure they had never seen.

As exciting as it sounds, the story isn’t true. Chemistry Editor Neil Eisberg said an uncorrected draft of the story was published by mistake. What’s true is that Cytori Therapeutics, a San Diego-based biotech company, has developed a way to relocate fat cells without the latter dying or being reabsorbed by the body. Theoretically, this can be used in fat grafts to boost breasts. But the technology is still in its infancy and the people at Cytori said a boob job using this system could take over two hours.

Mammograms cause breast cancer. False. A mammogram is a special type of x-ray exam that creates detailed images of the breast. It is an important tool in detecting breast cancer at a stage when it is curable. The US Food and Drug Administration said mammograms detect about 85 percent of breast cancers often years before even anything suspicious can be felt. Contrary to popular belief, a mammogram doesn’t cause breast cancer since it uses low levels of radiation – equivalent to one you would get in flying from New York to California on a jet or from a dental exam.

“Modern mammography uses the lowest possible dose of x-rays. Scientific data has shown that doses 100-1,000 times greater than those used for mammography are required to show any statistical increase in breast cancer frequency. There is no significant risk of radiation damage to breast tissue from mammography and the potential risk is greatly outweighed by the benefit of getting regular mammograms,” said the experts of Imaginis.com, an independent, award-winning Web site that provides information and news on breast cancer and other women’s health topics.

Breast augmentation is the only way to increase breast size. False. For women who don’t want to take chances with expensive and invasive breast surgery, there is a safer way – the Clevastin natural breast enhancement system. This potent product contains breast-enhancing compounds that will give you the lift you need without side effects. Check out http://www.clevastin.com for more information.
