A member asked:
Do breast enhancing supplements cause cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What's in them?: Your question is very general. All sorts of things might be sold as 'breast enhancements'; most don't work and might contain dangerous chemicals. If what you take contains hormones, some of those might predispose to cancers depending on dose and duration of use. Ask your doctor and bring him/her the container with the ingredients label of what you are using.
