The stereotypical idea that women are at the mercy of the hormone creature has been touted for years. Whatever you think is not true. While women’s hormones have a great influence on our lives, we don’t have to become slaves to those things. Understanding how these hormones may affect women’s health. Body, intellect and emotions will better enable the female in helping to minimize the negative effects of hormones, and help to enhance the positive effects.

Infancy

Generally we tend to believe that our hormones begin to kick in at puberty.  They actually affect our bodies during our earliest childhood. Newborn babies (girls as well as boys) can have slightly enlarged breasts, accompanied by a bit of milk production occasionally at birth, because of the female hormone, estrogen, which is in the mother’s body and passes through to the placenta while she is  pregnant which stimulates breast development in the infant. Typically the enlargement disappears after a few weeks, but in infant daughters some breast enlargement may continue infrequently in the first two years, but it is now due to the baby girl’s own hormones affecting the breast tissue. The enlargement of the breast may come and go repeatedly over months or years, before it will completely disappear in childhood.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world. They got that way not just because they have a cause, but also because they run the cleverest ad campaigns. We’ve all seen the shock news stories featuring nude models barely concealing their bodies with big posters that protest the wearing of fur – That’s PETA.

PETA’s latest Santa Clause ad is creating a stir this year. In this ad, a concerned Santa looks down inside his Santa pants. Apparently he hasn’t been able to please Mrs. Claus lately. The reason? According to the poster, milk causes impotence, while soy milk has the opposite effect. Many people feel that PETA has gone too far with this ad.

Critics say there is no clinical evidence to suggest that milk can cause impotence. On the other hand, PETA’s supporters point out the high cholesterol levels of cow’s milk and its tendency to cause vascular constriction. In men, this does equate with impotence and may account for the widespread use of Viagra, even by younger men.
