Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History by Florence Williams

informative medium-paced

2.0

Alternating between interesting and what I would consider unnecessarily alarmist, this book had too wide a focus for my taste. I very much enjoyed the evolutionary history and current biology of breasts but found most of the info about the negative impacts of modern industrialized society too much. I'm all for caution with molecules we don't know the effects of yet and very much in favor of reducing plastic usage overall but felt that this book hammered a specific agenda a bit hard on those parts and used information in a way that could easily be misconstrued without a pretty solid understanding of biochemistry and toxicology.
