It's in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior that this study, with its astonishing conclusion to say the least, has been published. Surprising because it explains that women with large breasts would be exposed to longer episodes of colds and flu than women with less generous breasts. To do this, more than 400 women were recruited and questioned by questionnaires about the frequency and duration of their respiratory infections during the three years preceding the study.
Result:those with an F cup suffered from respiratory infections for an average of 8.3 days; when those wearing A cups only suffered from it for 3.8 days. But this is only a correlation study; the causal relationship has not been scientifically proven. However, the authors of the study suspect that the fatty tissue of the breasts weakens the immune system which helps to fight against respiratory viruses.
Cautious about the lessons of this study, they indicated that new work will be done to confirm whether or not breast size plays a role in the duration of a respiratory infection. In the meantime, find out how to effectively get rid of a cold by clicking here.
