Airdate: The Secret Life of Breasts

SBS begins a series of science documentaries each investigating a contentious topic.

2014-03-27_2255Next month SBS begins a series of science documentaries grouped under the umbrella, Tales Of The Unexpected, where peculiar ideas are put to the test.

The reference to Roald Dahl is deliberate, as a team of scientists, writers, directors and producers create three documentaries investigating a contentious topic, through a combination of real-life stories, expert research, and unique experiments.

The first doco is The Secret Life of Breasts, later followed by Secrets of the Hand and Who’s Your Daddy?

The Secret Life of Breasts
New science is revealing breasts in a way that we’ve never seen them before. For years we’ve been seeking perfection: shape, size, and food source for our bubs. And gradually we are beginning to understand the wondrous biochemistry and evolution of the breast. But now some scientists believe breasts may also be a hidden toxic waste ground, living time-bombs that might endanger not only their owners – but also those who suckle at them. Putting actual breast tissue – and breast milk – to the test, this documentary will investigate if these wonderful life-giving organs are under threat from the modern world and if they’re actually an early warning system telling us about the dangers of the chemicals around us.

Sunday, April 6 at 8.30pm on SBS ONE.
