I'm sure you're spotting a trend here today...

Honestly, I need your opinions on this important issue. It appears that they've now made a chewing gum that will increase your breast size 80 percent.

It cites tests carried out by Thailand's Chulalongkorn University which found Pueraria mirifica therapy was able to enhance breast size by 80%.

One of the gum's ingredients is isoflavones, also found in other foods.

I've been worried about the epidemic of manboobs, and I've thought that it's not just a symptom of the couch potato generation - maybe it's just something we're eating (on top of the 5000 calories we're already eating).

So, would you buy and chew this gum?

I don't really want boobs

I think I found my girls chritsmas present

I was referring to the chewing gum. Mine are perfect :p

To the poll: There are some women who want smaller breasts. Just saying.

Why isn't there a 'No, I'm a woman and I want smaller breasts' option? I know a few girls whose chests really get in their way (not me!).

I don't think that not chewing gum would really decrease breast size. The poll, I think, was directly related to the gum.

My mistake! But, there's not a chewing gum that reduces breast size!

I'd vote for that one! I was looking for it and couldn't find it.... :(

But you had a male option for wanting to get rid of "man boobs". There should be a corresponding option for wanting to reduce breast size for females.

And wait, I just noticed in the OP...5000 calories!:eek: Is that an exagerration? That's a lot of food! I never really even eat 2000 a day!:confused:

Exactly

Which is why, I'm guessing, you don't have man-boobs. :p

Exactly

That, and the fact that I'm female...

Well... how do we define "man boobs"?

Yes, I know. :p

But, seriously, I usually only eat about 1600 calories a day, perhaps 1800 at the most.

I have "manboobs", but it's because I have a very large chest. My ribcage goes out, rather than staying flat, and the fat just increases the effect.

However, since I have a very lean build, it just makes me appear bigger, and not like I have big breasts. If I didn't have this kind of a ribcage, I'd look really scrawny and weak... Which isn't my kind of thing.

If it worked to as it says "keep the muscle tissue in good order" and had "beneficial effect on the skin, and hair, as well as the breasts" without crazy side effects I might would try it just for the heck of it, to see if it improved skin elasticity and hair luster. Not for BIGGER breasts tho. There is no 'magic anything'. Even with eating good stuff, exercise and taking care of yourself.. age and gravity are going to take their toll, all you can do is try to slow it down. Says it has "natural compounds which mimic the effects of the female sex hormone oestrogen" ... maybe when I hit menopause I'll eat some of this stuff instead of going on hormone pills.
