But it is mentioned as from Natural and artificial Resources’
Story:
You may have heard last year about the London shop that was selling breast-milk ice cream. Now, right here in the good old USA, one Austin,Texas-based candy company is selling breast-milk-flavored lollipops.
Yes, that’s breast-milk flavored. No actual breast milk involved. Just, you know, the taste of breast milk made from “artificial and natural ingredients,” company owner Jason Darling told ABC News.
Darling said he’d been trying to come up with a “crazy, weird” flavor for his next lollipop (his company, called Lollyphile, has already made maple bacon and sriracha lollipops, among others) and noticed his friends with fussy babies could quiet them down with just a few drops of breast milk.
“I had to know what tasted so good it could knock out a screaming infant,” he said.
So he asked his “good hippie mom friends” if he could try their breast milk. And they agreed.

There are two reasons the lollipops are breast-milk flavored and not made of actual breast milk. First, milk wouldn’t hold up to the candy-making process, Darling said. Second, it would take “way too much breast milk.”
Darling put the lollipops on his website Monday night and two days later, he said, he’d sold several thousand. “They’re selling really, really well,” he said.

Three activists from the feminist group Femen have been arrested after baring their breasts in Tunis in what the group described as its “first topless protest in an Islamic state.”
The women — one German and two French — were detained after taking off their coats outside the Ministry of Justice on May 29, revealing their naked chests scrawled with “Breasts Feed” and “Revolution” and holding signs saying “F**k your morals!” alongside the Femen logo.
They said their action was in support of a 19-year-old Tunisian woman, Amina Tyler, who posted topless pictures of herself online as a form of protest.
Breasts, one of the erotic zones, along with earlobes, is of intense interest among men.
This has some psychological and biological reasons.
Apart from Sex drive, men are attracted to Breasts because of the fact that the first experience of a child is sucking the Mother’s breast.
The organism always resort to the first experiences of any drive/instinctive actions/reactions.
Men unconsciously finds solace in this, most of the time Consciously!
One may also note that at times of great stress one resorts to Sleeping in Fetal Position;this is the pose the child assumes when it was in the womb of its mother, where it felt it was safe, an instinctive reaction for survival
Fetal Position Sleeping in Fetal Position.
Why are Men obsessed with Breasts?
Here is the report.
‘Why do straight men devote so much headspace to those big, bulbous bags of fat drooping from women’s chests? Scientists have never satisfactorily explained men’s curious breast fixation, but now, a neuroscientist has struck upon an explanation that he says “just makes a lot of sense.”
Larry Young, a professor of psychiatry at Emory University who studies the neurological basis of complex social behaviors, thinks human evolution has harnessed an ancient neural circuit that originally evolved to strengthen the mother-infant bond during breast-feeding, and now uses this brain circuitry to strengthen the bond between couples as well. The result? Men, like babies, love breasts.
When a woman’s nipples are stimulated during breast-feeding, the neurochemical oxytocin, otherwise known as the “love drug,” floods her brain, helping to focus her attention and affection on her baby. But research over the past few years has shown that in humans, this circuitry isn’t reserved for exclusive use by infants.’
Actress and activist Angelina Jolie’s recent decision to have a preventive double mastectomy highlights the difficult choices facing women who find out they have a high risk for breast cancer because of their genes.
Although relatively rare, mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes raise the risk of breast cancer by as much as 80%, experts say. The mutations also raise the risk of ovarian cancer.
Jolie describes in a New York Times op-ed piece why she decided to go through with the surgery. At 37, the mother of six wants to stay healthy and active for her family — and to reassure them that she is doing everything possible to avoid the disease that took her mother’s life: cancer.
“I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy,” Jolie writes. “But it is one that I am very happy I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.”….

I think most breast cancer experts would agree that the choice is really the patient’s to make, and I really want to emphasize, it is a choice.
Preventive mastectomy is one very excellent choice. But another choice women can consider when they know they carry a BRCA mutation is early detection. And that comes with more active screening.
..
If a woman knows she has a BRCA mutation and does not want to have a mastectomy, a good alternative is to have a mammogram and a breast MRI every year.
You can do both at once or choose to alternate. [For my patients] I choose to alternate, doing one test every 6 months.
It’s not as effective because by definition you are picking up cancer as it develops. But it is effective at picking up cancer at a very early stage.
If a woman has a preventive double mastectomy, what are the benefits and risks?
In women at higher risk — those with BRCA mutations — preventive surgery can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 90%. If the [increased] risk is 80% as it is for many BRCA carriers, this can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 90%.
In other words, this can reduce the risk to that lower than the general population. The risks [of the mastectomy] are not that great. Most women having preventive mastectomies are younger patients, and many choose to get reconstruction. A lot of the risk has to do with the implants, like implant complications, or other risks [linked with surgery] such as infections or bleeding.
Who should consider BRCA testing?
The women who should absolutely consider it are those who themselves have had a triple-negative breast cancer, the kind associated with BRCA mutations, at an early age, under 45, people who have had both ovarian and breast cancer in family members, and people who have breast cancer in the family and are of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.
What is involved in testing for BRCA mutations?
It is a simple blood test, or they can swab the inside of your cheek. The best way to get this test is to go for counseling from a genetic counselor. Have them talk to you about the possibility of testing positive. Women really need to be counseled about what this means, what the results mean, what their risk is, and then to make the decision about whether to get the test.
If you only get tested for the three most common mutations, results take about 2 weeks. The more comprehensive test, where they do gene sequencing, can take a month.
Some days back I lamented that I had been posting some serious stuff and posted some light reading material.
Now this story.
I do not know whether to take this under serious stuff or funny or reflect as to what level people can degenerate into.
At this rate. some may raise funds for men to visit a Brothel!
The aspiring Model was operated upon and the NHS paid for it as it fell within the laid down Policies!
Story:
Josie Cunningham, 22, said being a 32A, left, was ruining her life, but now she is a 36DD,right, she is happy
An aspiring glamour model had her breasts enlarged to size 36DD on the NHS, it emerged yesterday.
The surgery to 22-year-old Josie Cunningham, cost taxpayers £4,800.
She convinced doctors to operate by claiming her flat chest was ‘ruining her life’ and causing emotional distress.
But last night critics were appalled at the decision, branding it a waste of taxpayers’ cash. Under NHS guidelines, cosmetic surgery should be funded only in rare circumstances ‘to protect a person’s health’.
Miss Cunningham, who works in telesales, says her new breasts have given her the ‘confidence’ she needs to pursue her dream of topless modelling.
But health bosses were unable to say yesterday why such an enormous cleavage was necessary for Miss Cunningham’s wellbeing.
Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance said: ‘This is an outrageous waste of NHS money and taxpayers will be appalled that they are having to foot the bill
‘People expect scarce NHS resources to be used to help people with serious medical needs, not to subsidise anyone who fancies a career as a glamour model.’
It is understood Miss Cunningham, previously a 32A, went to her GP with a ‘congenital medical condition’ which left her with no breast tissue.
She said she ‘lived in terror’ of being seen in a bikini and did not feel comfortable venturing out without a padded bra.
It is understood Miss Cunningham, previously a 32A, went to her GP with a ¿congenital medical condition¿ which left her with no breast tissue.
‘I was never depressed about my flat chest,’ Miss Cunningham admitted. ‘I just got emotional when I was explaining to my GP that I felt I couldn’t live a full life the way I was – and he agreed to refer me.
‘They gave me a top surgeon. He said he’d have to give me 36DD implants just to achieve the appearance of a 36C, because there was literally nothing there in the first place.’
The NHS usually pays for cosmetic surgery only when it is considered necessary for health reasons. For instance it will fund breast reduction if the weight of a woman’s breasts are causing her back problems.
However, the criteria for breast enhancement are decided by each local health trust, with no national guidelines available.
In Leeds, it can be granted if the woman suffers from developmental failure, or if she has had a mastectomy or lumpectomy.
It can also be granted for women with asymmetric breasts. However, it is unclear whether there is a limit on how big the implants should be.
NHS Airedale, Bradford and Leeds said it could not comment on individual cases but added: ‘We would like to clarify that cosmetic surgery is not routinely funded by the NHS.’
The decision in Miss Cunningham’s case would have been made by a panel including clinicians, it said.
Cosmetic surgery is provided by the NHS only if there is a clinical need
Cosmetic procedures are not normally done on the NHS unless doctors decide there is a clinical need.
This decision is taken at a local level, by the Primary Care Trust (PCT), on the basis of reports submitted by a patient’s doctors.
PCTs set their own criteria according to what, in their view, are the health needs of the local community.
For cosmetic surgery, the usual protocol is that the PCT must decide there is some kind of clinical, ie health, need for the operation to be funded on the NHS. Simply wanting to look nicer in itself is not reason enough.
Leeds Primary Care Trust, also known as NHS Leeds, offers a list of cosmetic procedures that may be available on its website. They include breast augmentation, breast reduction, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and rhytidectomy (wrinkle removal including face lift).
It says these may be available ‘providing certain criteria can be met’, and lists the criteria.
The criteria required for breast augmentation include suffering from certain rare syndromes, severe asymmetry (more than two cup sizes difference), or lumpectomy that results in deformity.
Rare cases, however, such as Ms Cunningham’s, have to be go through the Individual Funding Request process, in which each case is decided upon its individual merits.
