1/30    Can drinking lots of milk actually make a woman's breasts bigger?
        Seems like this is much safer than implants and hormone treatment.
        Thx.
        \_ Only in the sense that drinking lots of milk makes you fat.
        \_ No.  She'll just balloon up and there's nothing saying her breasts
           will get significantly bigger as she gets fatter.  My gf's mother
           is a cow with A/B size tits.
           \_ It's also genetic. Fat accumulates in certain areas for certain
              people. That said, fat may increase breast size a little, but
              not enough to really be useful/noticable.
        \_ you may be thinking about those news reports suggesting that
        hormones in milk and meat products might contribute to the earlier
        onset of puberty.. no definitive evidence, but what else might explain
        why 8 year olds are getting racks these days?
           \_ who's complaining?
           \_ I'd go with this theory. Hormones and steroids fed to cows are
              probably being passed via milk in microscopic amounts which
              slowly accumulate to stimulate the body's own system.
              \_this is also a theory put forth to explain japanese teenage
              girls busting out beyond previous norms as well, since milk
              is a relatively recent introduction to the japanese diet
              depending on whether it's non-fat milk or not.
                \_ Another factor is increased protein. More amino acids to
                   build the body with and move it faster to puberty.
           \_ No, I was just thinking about the protein, and maybe the fat
              depending on whether it's non-fat milk or not.  -- OP
        \_ increased body fat (breasts) correlates to breast cancer.  It's
           no surprise that countries that has high consumptions of milk
           and animal fat in general have very high rates of cancer.  One
           more reason to be a vegetarian.
           \_ Thanks for all the info.  How about for a woman that's way past
              puberty, like a 30-year-old?  -- OP
              \_ Are you asking if a 30yo woman drinking milk will get bigger
                 breasts?  Ugh...  How about asking if that same 30yo woman
                 talking calcium tablets will grow taller?  What do you think?
              \_ No, the body already has a certain level of hormones and it's
                 tough to fool it on a small level change (ie. milk). Being
                 pregnant will start a change. Hormone treatments will too.
        \_ How about getting her pregnant and having her give milk?  Won't
           that grow the breasts?  And what about that "Bloussant" stuff,
           which is supposed to make your breasts grow?  Does it really?
           \_ But wouldn't the breasts return to the original size one she
              stops lactating?  Too big a price to pay for too short of a
              benefit.  Besides, I see pregnant women in public, and quite
              often they don't have big breasts.  So is that just a myth?  BTW
              is the Bloussant stuff as safe as it claims?  -- OP
              \_ Usually it does, but mammary glands don't always shrink back
                 to pre-pregnancy size. It's not a myth, milk is being
                 produced in nearly all cases. How much milk depends on the
                 mother and if she breast feeds afterwards. Plus there's
                 some increased fat accumalation in that region. I think the
                 Bloussant stuff is basically hormone treatment to a certain
                 degree... (you'll have to research that)
