The Bra and Health Risks
 
The startling fact is that, where there are no bras, there is little breast cancer.

The main problem with bras appears to be that they block the circulation of the lymph system. Try this: at the end of the day, take off your bra and look in the mirror. If you can see lines on your skin left by your bra, it is cutting off the circulation of your lymph system. Remember, your health is more important than how society thinks you should look.

The lymph system is an important part of the body's purification system. If the tissue of the breasts is constricted due to a close fitting garment, such as a bra, the toxins in the lymph system of this area are not allowed to drain properly. As a result of the inadequate drainage, each day more and more toxins build up in the area.

The statistics speak for themselves. In a carefully managed retroactive study: Women who wore a bra 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing 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 152 risk. Women who never wore a bra had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting breast cancer.

These alarming statistics begin to raise some concerns about tight fitting clothing generally, even heavy eye glasses. In an April, 1991 USA Today magazine article entitled "Dress for Health, Not Style," Dr. Leonard Morgan cautions against tight clothing of any kind. Too-tight shirt colars and ties, knee-hi stockings, elasticized socks, and more.

In a study of the connection between bras and breast cancer, women wearing bras that were dangerously tight or restrictive were asked if their bras were comfortable. Many said they were!

Throughout history, people have become accustomed to a variety of clothing that was detrimental to our health: corsets, spike heals, narrow toed shoes, nylon underpants, chemical hair coloring, and much more. Let's begin to become accustomed to what is natural and good for our bodies. For more information on studies of the link between breast cancer and the wearing of bras, read Dressed to Kill, by Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer.
