1. Yep, the millions of women who didn't wear them before bras were invented ALL got cancer... *psst! think*
2. no! that is not true.
3. No this is just a false rumor.
4. Are you serious?! Do you really wonder this?
   Well, of course, the answer is NO!!!!
5. i dunno. i never use bra. cause i'm a man.
6. Considering that non metal support bras were around a long time
   I would hardly think it likely
7. not at all.
8. No but i can't wear them since i am allergic to elastic. I am think about coming up with something new but maybe i will some time. I hate being allergic to Elastic and Latex..The sports bras do not work for me.
9. wow who told you that kinda f*** up thing? Eh no its not true...if it was then ALOT women would be very sick right (I wouldnt though ;) )
10. sagging yes, cancer??? never heard that one!
11. Although it's never been proven true, I have actually heard the opposite. A tight bra will cause cancer. This is based on the book Dressed To Kill, which talks about the link between bras and breast cancer. I'm attaching a link that talks about it. I don't know if I actually believe this, but it's worth a look.
12. nooo...
13. that has got to be one of the most absurd things I have ever heard, OMG do you really think that? so sad what this world is coming to. cancer... from... wearing a bra without an underwire... i will be laughing for days on that one...thanks
14. no
15. The only thing that I ever heard about that was if you were incredibly huge and you didn't have good support you smacked them around just walking and running and ended up bruising them, maybe causing some sort of pre-cancerous process. But I don't know that it has ever been proven.
16. NO. IT'S NOT TRUE
