Did you know that bras cause breast cancer?

Go to Yahoo! and search for "bras cause cancer." You'll find plenty of information. -Bras cut off circulation in the breasts, keeping toxins from naturally filtering out. Those toxins often cause... you guessed it! Breast cancer. -Bras increase the temperature of breasts. A warmer environment encourages the growth of cancer cells. Here's an excerpt: "A recent study involving 4,700 women found that women who wear a bra more than 12 hours a day increased the risk of getting breast cancer by 21 times. Dr. Douglass notes ominously, "Women who wear a bra 24 hours a day are 125 times as likely to develop cancer as women who don't." In fact, the study found that women who never wore a bra had the same likelihood of getting breast cancer as men, which is rare." Wearing a bra also causes the ligaments in your breasts to break down, which makes you sag more than if you didn't wear one to begin with. Is it worth your health to be stuck in an uncomfortable garment all day? "Thanks, but go peddle your myths elsewhere." Okay, but when you get to have your breasts removed, you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

1. Didn't know that. But I never thought women should wear them.
   Did you know that before the bra and panties, women wore something that was tighter, under their clothse? And that it was suicide, too?
2. that's bull.
   your just trying to make everyone as saggy as you.
3. Thanks for the info.Thank God I don't wear bra at home.
4. Nope, I did not know this but will need to read to see if the research is legitimate.
5. What about the women who are top heavy like me? I can not stand to sag.
6. Wow are you serious. Never heard of that. I wear one non stop unless for a shower. But I'm not going into public without one that is for sure.
7. I don't think this was proven scientifically. But let's face it. Is there anything that doesn't cause cancer? Maybe wearing clothes also causes cancer. Feel free to travel naked then.
8. yeah but when you look like a slob cause your big or its uncomfortable for your body when you dont wear one i dont really give a **** if you get cancer or not. everybody is born with cancer cells in the body whether or not it forms into cancer itself
9. cancer is said to be caused from so many things, and also i would rather wear a bra and take my chances .guys who wear under briefs is said to cause cancer because of the tight fit around their testicles.I don't believe everything i read or hear.
10. are you serious?! i did not know that!!!
11. No, I didn't know bras cause cancer because they don't. I can also find plenty of information stating that I can make millions working from home by searching work at home on Yahoo! And actually, men do develop breast cancer at a rate higher than indicated in your information. Thanks, but go peddle your myths elsewhere.
12. So the bra burners were right!
13. If we knew what caused breast cancer, the cure would be in sight and we'd hear a lot more about this.
    
    There is no evidence whatever to associate bras with breast cancer.
    
    This came from a book by Syd Singer and Soma Grismaijer who wrote a book called Dressed to Kill.
    
    The authors have not published their findings in medical journals, and I could not find any academic appointments at an accredited university for either of them. Their web site asks for contributions to support their research that they conduct from a 67-acre farm in Hawaii.
14. That's really scary.
