Will Stem Cells Replace Silicone Breast Implants?

Stem cells spend a great deal of time in the news, but some of the scientific journals are claiming that within a decade silicone breast implants will be replaced by stem cells grown within one's own body.

It all began when Jeremy Mao from the University of Illinois used human stem cells to grow fat tissue, and although we'll skip all the details, what studies are indicating is that stem cells could eventually provide a much safer alternative to saline or silicone implants.

Breast implants that are a result of stem cells would not interfere with detecting cancer, and they also would keep their size and shape for much longer than saline or silicone implants, which will shrink as much as 60% over time.

Research continues and to say the least to a layman like ourselves, it's rather boring, but what is important is that it is showing promising capability for the future.

There are still some questions over how viable this type of implant is, but time will find answers to all of these questions.

Stem cells have a lot of promise in many areas, including breast implants, and it's hopeful that further studies will determine just how stem cells will work for bigger breasts.

Is Chewing Gum The Latest Breast Enhancement Tool?

A Japanese company claims to have the answer to a non-invasive breast enhancement. All you need to do is chew some Bust-Up gum, four times a day, and wow - it will enhance the size, and shape of your breasts, and even tone them. Who would have thought? Here for years us poor women have been going under the knife to get the bosom we want and all we needed to do was chew some "very special" gum.

The makers claim that the gum slowly releases compounds that have a plant extract called Pueraria mirifica, also known as Kwao Krua. The plants tubers contain certain chemicals that are suppose to mimic the female sex hormone oestrogen. Bust Up gum combines a few natural chemicals, which are responsible for the increase in breast size.

Don't believe it? Laughing hysterically? You're not alone, but then again tests that were done at Thailand's' Chulalongkorn University claim that Puerara mirfica increased breast sizes by as much as 80%. Imagine - form an AAA to a D just by chewing gum?

Still skeptical? Understandable - would you be more believable if the studies were done in England? England's studies did show some benefits to hair, skin, and breasts. This gum coming to a convenience store near you soon.

Skeptic? Of course... After all "if it sounds too good to be true," it is, right? If you've been thinking about a breast enhancement, but your budget's making it a little tough to reach your goal, maybe you can give the gum a try and see what happens. Now don't hold your breath waiting for a bigger bosom, but hey miracles can happen, and if this is one of those miracles, all of us women could be walking around with larger bosoms very soon, and for only pennies a day - what a novel idea.
