Bra-wearing and Breast Cancer Risk: When research supports me.


If you follow enough media news, you might become overly discouraged: everything causes cancer.  The food you eat, the air your breathe, the environment you live in, the clothes you wear.  Everything.  Although some of these claims may be grounded in science, the media has a tendency to extend the truth.  For example, awhile back I read an Internet posting about how wearing bras may cause breast cancer.  I shook my head is disbelief and continued wearing a bra.  And then recently, I came across this journal article, Bra wearing not associated with breast cancer risk”, refuting the claim.  I was intrigued and slightly amused.
