Women with larger breasts are more likely to develop breast cancer, scientis

A study of more than 16,000 women found those with a larger bra size were at

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United
States and Canada. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a
bountiful harvest. While it may have been religious in origin, Thanksgiving
is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.[1] It is sometimes
casually referred to as Turkey Day.
