History of Breasts

breasts

Author of “Breasts: A Natural And Unnatural History” Florence Williamson stops by to talk implants, male breast feeding and what’s in your milk. Did you know that breast milk contains substances similar to cannabis? Or that it’s sold on the Internet for 262 times the price of oil? Feted and fetishized, the breast is an evolutionary masterpiece. But in the modern world, the breast is changing. Breasts are getting bigger, arriving earlier, and attracting newfangled chemicals. Increasingly, the odds are stacked against us in the struggle with breast cancer, even among men. What makes breasts so mercurial—and so vulnerable?

In her informative and highly entertaining account, intrepid science reporter Florence Williams sets out to uncover the latest scientific findings from the fields of anthropology, biology, and medicine. Her investigation follows the life cycle of the breast from puberty to pregnancy to menopause, taking her from a plastic surgeon’s office where she learns about the importance of cup size in Texas to the laboratory where she discovers the presence of environmental toxins in her own breast milk. The result is a fascinating exploration of where breasts came from, where they have ended up, and what we can do to save them.

You’re Not Paranoid

YOU-ARENT-PARANOID

America has entered an era of Corporate PSYOPS. This is dangerous stuff. Corporations are spying on political activists and our Justice Department is prosecuting journalists who are trying to tell you this. Why did Aaron Swartz kill himself? Professor Peter Ludlow’s chilling article in The Nation Magazine details the convergence of private intelligence firms and the CIA. Journalists and hacktivists are already locked up in America for exposing this. We talk with Professor Ludlow who writes in The Nation, “Why should we care about the cases of Aaron Swartz, Jeremy Hammond, Barrett Brown and Andrew Auernheimer? Apart from the great injustices done to them, there is the problem that when laws are overextended for cases like these, a precedent is established that can be used to incarcerate any of us.” Listen and then subscribe to the Nation Magazine.
