My mom says it is but other people say it isnt.

Answer

Ok, Im a guy, but this is an interesting question.brbrI researched it, and there was a study done in the US a while back that linked tight brawearing and longterm bra wearing with breast cancer.brbrA book was written about it brhttpwww.allnatural.comdressed.htmlabrbrHere is their theory behind it brBras apply pressure to the breasts, especially to the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system consists of tiny, thinwalled vessels that drain from the breast tissue, removing toxins, cell debris, cancer cells, viruses, bacteria, and other products from the breasts. All of our tissues drain through the lymphatics, which is essentially the circulatory pathway of the immune system. However, unlike arteries and veins, these vessels have no internal pressure. As a result, they are easily compressed by external pressure a bra, for instance leading to the congestion of the tissues that would otherwise have been drained. When a woman wears a tight bra, she subjects her breasts to pressure, closing off the lymphatic pathway from the breast to the nodes. This causes fluid buildup, swelling, tenderness and cyst formation. Toxins must be flushed out via the lymphatics. However, a braconstricted breast cannot adequately perform this cleansing process, resulting in toxin accumulation in the breast.brbrbrAnd heres some information on the study, its pretty frightening brbrPerhaps the most convincing article I have ever read With regards to this matter is one which links breast cancer to the wearing of bras. In the quot Bra and Breast Cancer Study quot in the United States, it was discovered that women with breast cancer had a history of sporting tighter and longer brawearing than did the women who had not yet developed the disease. In fact, virtually all of the cancer group wore bras over hours daily with even sleeping with their bras which means they wore hours daily. In contrast, the comparison groups had of the women either brafree or wearing bras less than hours daily. Only of this group slept with their bras on. brbrThis study revealed a significant link between bras and breast cancer that is three times greater than the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer! There was a fold increase in breast cancer incidence between women who were brafree and those who wore bras hours daily. Wearing a bra over hours daily conferred a fold increase in breast cancer incidence!brbrI hope this helps!brbrbreditbrTo the below post, I havent been able to find on cnn or elsewhere where its been scientifically proven that wearing a tightlong term bra doesnt cause cancer, do you have the link?
