Breast Implants Lead To Suicide According to MSNBC, "Among the more than 40,000 women in the study, those who'd received cosmetic breast implants had lower-than-average risks of dying from breast cancer, heart disease and a host of other major diseases." The results of the study, which were published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, are in line with many other research projects on this topic. "To some extent, what you're seeing is a screening effect," said Dr. Howard Morrison of the Public Health Agency of Canada in Ottawa. However, the recent Canadian research also confirmed suspicions that have arisen out of previous studies: "women with breast implants commit suicide at a higher-than-average rate." "These findings agree fundamentally with those of past reports," Morrison says. "The one thing that lights up is this increased suicide risk." While there is not enough research to gain reasonably scientific explainations for the increased rate, a strong suspicion is simply that women who seek out breast implants are more often than not already struggling from low self esteem.
