ORIGINAL: MistressCamille Wearing a bra till you go to bed greatly increases your chance of getting cancer. So does drinking non-organic, hormone-laden milk, so does being on the pill, so does smoking, so does eating pesticides, so does using a hair dryer, so does breathing the air... You get the idea. I do not mean to be sarcastic; I am simply pointing out that we all do a risk assessment in our lives and determine what we want to change, and what we do not. I personally found after several months going sans brassiere at home, that I was incredibly uncomfortable, and gravity was already starting its "pull" if you will. I choose to wear a healthy, non-snug, attractive bra and I am allowed to do so, unless he wishes it off. I did peruse the site you posted. In all honesty, their mission seemed to have as much "bra burning, we are women, here us roar" agenda as it did health reasons. I did check out another site (http://www.all-natural.com/bras.html) which stated the risk of breast cancer increases due to lach of lymphatic movement, and due to raised temperature to the lymphatic system, which bras will contribute to. It also emphasized the way women wear bras is detrimental - so snug they create indents in one's body. Here's another article which states the same: http://www.007b.com/bras_breast_cancer.php This is the summary of findings from a study conducted in 1990: 3 out of 4 women who wore their bras 24 hours per day developed breast cancer. 1 out of 7 women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed developed breast cancer. 1 out of 152 women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day got breast cancer. 1 out of 168 women who wore bras rarely or never acquired breast cancer. All articles I read (and there were many) pointed to the same study, conducted by Singer & Grismaijer. I wonder if that is the only study which has been done? Thank you for pointing others in the direction of knowledge. I will continue to wear what I wear, but it is always good to be more informed about what we do, than not.
