It’s complicated. The way you develop from child to adult is partly determined by genetics and a lot by environment. There’s this chart, though:
Genetics will definitely have some influence but so does your diet. For example, in Europe, the USA, Africa and Turkey the population consumes a lot of sugars. When the body gets too much sugar, it will store them in the liver, transform it into fat tissue and then put the fat in areas where it can be most useful. For women, that’s in the breasts. Most other Arab countries don’t provide the information about female breast sizes even though they too consume a lot of sugars. (Be aware, obesity is another thing that could happen if you eat too much sugars.)
So let’s check worldwide sugar consumptions:
So let’s check worldwide sugar consumptions:
You will notice that areas where lots of sugar is consumed also has larger breasts in general. China, for example, consumes not so much sugar so most women have small breasts. Russia and the USA consume lots of sugars and the average women there have large breasts. And although the USA consumes almost the most sugar, they still don’t have the largest breast sizes as obesity is another problem there.
Genetics will determine how effective you can transform food into building materials for your body. People who originate from areas where starvation was quite common (Africa, Europe) tend to get more calories from their food. So if they get enough food, their bodies will start to build fat reserves. Europe has sugar-rich diets so they develop more fat, which includes fat tissue in the breasts. Starvation is still a problem in Africa, though. Then again, their diets generally have a lot less sugars.
Also important are the bacteria in your intestines. All humans have then and they’re passed on from mother to child. And sometimes from other sources. Those bacteria in your intestines will help to transform into valuable resources for the body, as long as you have the right ones. These bacteria are part of the environment that has a big influence.
Certain body types keep appearing in various families but you have to remember that certain feeding habits are also common in certain families. Changes in diet can have unexpected effects. For example, people who start a vegan diet generally lose weight as the amount of fat tissue is reduced. And the people in the Netherlands were reasonably short to average length before WWII. But after WWII they started eating more sugars in their diets (and more junk food) and the Dutch are about one of the tallest people these days. Genetics? Or diet?
