Information Society in the United Kingdom:
Maxine Heasman is the founder of this organization, which,
like ImplantInfo, strives to set aside the myths that have been floating around since the
"silicone controversy" in 1990. Maxine has silicone implants and has done
a considerable amount of research and surveying of women with implants to come up with
"The Ultimate Cleavage," a 150 page booklet which summarizes all of her work.

Skepticism.Net:
"Do silicone breast implants cause disease?
Many women who got the implants think they do and their lawyers have been very successful
in court, forcing Dow Corning, the manufacturer of the implants, into bankruptcy.
Unfortunately all of the available medical evidence indicates silicone breast implants are
not a health risk and in fact some studies show a slight health benefit to implants
(though this benefit is so small it is probably a result of statistical anomalies.)
If there's no good medical evidence that breast implants cause disease, why do women
keeping winning lawsuits? The essays and links here provide information to explain that
paradox. If you'd like more information about breast implants, visit our new bookstore
where you can order books on the implant controversy at a nice discount."
