Subject: Correcting Newsweek on the dangers of implants

Dear Friends,

I was pleased to see that Newsweek published my letter to the editor correcting their article on breast implants. Of course they cut it considerably, and even so I had to persuade the editor to get this much included.

I also included another letter that you might find amusing.

Best wishes,

Zuckerman, Ph.D.National Center for Policy Research (CPR) for Women & Families1901 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20006www.center4policy.org

Remember CPR when you give to United Way or CFC, by designating #9884!

UPFRONT ON IMPLANTS In the Jan. 13 article ”New Year, New Breasts?” (Tip Sheet) NEWSWEEK should have focused more on the breast implants’ potentially serious health problems. For example, a study published in 2001 by the National Cancer Institute raised important questions about whether women with implants are more likely to die from brain cancer or respiratory diseases. The truth is we still have a lot to learn about the long-term risks of breast implants. Zuckerman, President National Center for Policy Research for Women & Families Washington, D.C.

Any woman who is hoping to attract a man should first try adding a few inches to her hair length instead of her bust line. When I teach my “How to Meet Your Mate in 90 Days or Less” class, I tell women that every inch they grow their hair is like “extra credit.” Most men love longer hair on women and it’s certainly safer, easier and cheaper than implants. It worked for me! Pepperdine Fairway, Kans.
