3x0=0.

We're talking 14 women instead of 5.
I was going to give Kudos to the study for using control groups, but then we find out that I thought of as a control group (breast reduction surgery) also show a higher rate of suicide.

Real headline: Self-mutilation linked to poor mental health.

Wow. There's a shocker.

Would you call ramming a chunk of steel through your body parts to be self mutilation?
How about pierced ears?
I think this whole story being from Reuters is a fraud.
Is it true that Tufts Univ. did a study about breast size and IQ or is that na urban myth?

Even thought the numbers were small, it was statistically significant. There are more than 250,000 breast augs/year in the US which gets up into bigger numbers. The difference counts.
