Can Wearing Your Bra May Face Up to 125-Fold Higher Cancer Risk

Medical anthropologists Sydney Singer and Soma Grismaijer authors of Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras -- conducted a learning of over 4,000 women, and set up that women who do not wear bras have a much lower risk of breast cancer.

Their findings included:

Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 probability of underdeveloped breast cancer

Women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day, but not to bed, had a 1 out of 7 risk

Women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 52 risk

Women who wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 risk of getting breast cancer

The overall deviation between women who wore their bras 24-hours a day and those who did not wear bras at all was a 125-fold dissimilarity. Based on the results of this study, the link between bras and breast cancer is about three times greater than the link between cigarette smoking and cancer.

Singer and Grismaijer also found that about 90 percent of fibrocystic patients improve when they quit wearing bras.

I believe the results of this schoolroom are compelling, in spite of the fact that it was not a controlled research for other risk factors. There are few solid studies on bra wearing and breast cancer, but investigation showing links between the two is not entirely nonexistent.

For example, one 1991 study, published in the European Journal of Cancer
, institute that premenopausal women who did not wear bras had half the risk of breast cancer compared with bra users.

Another group of Japanese researchers discovered that wearing a girdle or bra can lower your levels of melatonin by 60 percent.The hormone melatonin is intimately complex with the regulation of your sleep cycles, and diverse studies have shown that melatonin has anti-cancer activities. It's also a strong antioxidant, and can prevent DNA damage and bind to T-helper cells. Furthermore, researchers in Spain published a library detailing the possible use of melatonin in breast cancer prevention and treatment.
