The U.S. is the breast country in the world.

American women have the biggest boobs across the globe, with the average babe’s bosom measuring a D-cup (which would be an F in European sizes).

The Journal of Female Health Sciences busted out this eye-raising new research after analyzing the volume of breast tissue in 342,000 women ages 28-30 in 108 different countries. They only surveyed ladies who were not pregnant or breastfeeding — and those whose boobs were not surgically enhanced — to get the most natural measurements.

“Women born in the U.S.A have by far larger breasts than women in any other country, while women born in Africa and Asia, particularly in the East Asian countries, have the smallest breast volumes,” the writers marveled in their report.

The researchers curiously divided American women into Caucasians and Non-Caucasians — which they didn’t do with any other countries — and found that white Americans are bustier overall, although all U.S. ladies on average are still more well-endowed than the rest of the world.

Our Canadian sisters boast the second biggest busts with an average “E” cup size, according to the European scale, with Irish and Polish women topping Europe’s most ample bosoms.

But believe it or not, obesity isn’t the reason why the Americans’ golden arches are so super-sized. The report noted that while larger cup sizes in countries such as England and Spain are tied to body weight, women born in the U.S. and Canada, including athletes, had bigger boobs regardless of what their scales said. This is because white North American breasts tend to be rounder than the racks of white women born in other countries, and rounder boobs have more volume.

The study also confirmed what lingerie departments have known for years: That many women are wearing the wrong-size bra. This was another reason that the researchers measured breast volume using 3D scanning and measuring tape, instead just of asking each woman her cup size.
