Storm In A D–Cup

image

One of the phenomenons of the late 20th Century has been the rise and rise of the silicone implant. But recently a new trend has emerged. Last month Pamela Anderson joined the ranks of cosmetically well-endowed Hollywood stars who have had their implants removed following warnings of the horrific dangers of breast implants. But recent medical research in the UK has come to the conclusion that silicone implants do not cause connective tissue disorder or cancer - the two principle allegations by anti-implant groups. From the US comes the startling news that implants may even reduce the growth of breast cancer. Storm In A D-Cup investigates the research behind the silicone implant all-clear and interviews experts from both sides of the fence.
