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.
