There’s a story out of Canada that has me cringing — not for myself, but for the women of the world whom I admire: those with big breasts. The scary thing though, is that women who wear a D cup were three times more likely than women who wear a B or C cup, of actually developing diabetes in later life.

A report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal says a Canadian study shows younger women with big breasts run a 68 percent greater chance of acquiring diabetes by middle age than their smaller-breasted peers.
