Advertising gurus, clever marketing, peer pressure and the subliminal expectations of society have elevated the female breast to icon status. Mother Nature, however, has determined that the breasts serve a natural, functional purpose. Breasts are actually glands whose primary role is the production of milk (lactation.)

Unfortunately, there is a lack of awareness of the numerous non-cancerous health problems which can affect the breasts, which are far more common than the worst scenario of breast cancer. |
