Ten Lesser Known Facts About Breasts
From breast cancer to man-boobs there is a little something for everyone to learn in this list generated by the folks at Body Philosophy. I don’t want to spoil it for you, so check it out for yourself — but I have to share my favorite from the list, good ‘ole Number Nine;
9. Man-boobs may be a medical condition
I think many of us mistakenly assume that men with breast-like pectorals are just a bit overweight. Not necessarily so. Obesity can contribute to the phenomenon, but there are many other factors that can contribute, including hormone imbalances, castration, medications, genetic disorders, liver disease, Klinefelter or Gilbert’s Syndrome, or even-possibly-marijuana use. The official term is gynecomastia, which comes from the Greek words meaning “woman” and “breast,” most nearly translating to “woman-like breasts.” While many think this condition is a joke, we should also remember that it can signal medical problems, not to mention serious psychological consequences.”

I did not read the entire list but I am assuming they failed to mention that breasts are addictive. Its true, just ask my daughter, or my husband.
May want to add it to the list if not already there. Its a warning that everyone should be aware of.
