A Chewing Gum That Increases The Breasts' Size

Those naughty girls chewing gum are so sexy because, in fact, chewing makes them have appealing breasts! A chewing gum said to increase the size, shape and tone of the breasts proved itself a big success in Japan. The Bust-Up gum, when chewed at least three times daily, can also improve circulation, decrease stress and aging effects.

This gum slowly releases chemicals from an extract of a tropical plant called Kwao Krua (Pueraria mirifica), native to Thailand and Myanmar. The plant has been employed for long by indigenous hill tribe people as a traditional medicine, and a muscle tissue fortifier.

The Pueraria tubers contain phytoestrogens, plant chemicals mimicking the female sex hormones called estrogens. Miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol, found only in Pueraria, are particularly strong, and resemble estradiol, the main human estrogen. These two chemicals combine with a third phytoestrogen, isoflavone, found in soy and red clover.

Experiments made at Thailand's Chulalongkorn University showed that Pueraria mirifica therapy could increase breast size by 80%. Tests carried by English researchers revealed that the plant induces a beneficial effect on the skin, and hair, besides the breasts. There are also various Pueraria products on the market, including pills, and tea.

"Research had suggested phytoestrogens may be beneficial in post-menopausal women in terms of reducing menopausal symptoms, and may also have beneficial effects on risk factors for heart disease and osteoporosis." said Claire Williamson, of the British Nutrition Foundation.

Pueraria could also fight breast cancer, but this remains to be investigated. But "Research had suggested that isoflavone supplements are not as effective in managing menopausal symptoms as isoflavone rich foods such as soy." she said.

And isoflavones consume seems to require a life-long intake to trigger beneficial effects on postmenopausal symptoms. "So there is clear evidence of the potential health benefits of consuming isoflavone-rich foods such as soy, however consumption in the form of a gum has not been extensively studied and such products may be simply another food gimmick", added Williamson.
