Does Wearing a Bra Cause Cancer?

Yes, say Ty Bollinger in his book Cancer - Step Outside the Box.  Ty cites convincing statistics showing how breast cancer rates increased dramatically once bras came into common usage (they have only been around a hundred years or so).  The correlation seems to be strongest for tight-fitting bras.

I found this position somewhat surprising coming from a conservative christian.  Yet, if the bra-cancer correlation exists health can (and rightly should) trump prudery.

Here are some links from the internet, including a Harvard study:

• Bras may inhibit the way our bodies cleanse themselves -- See here 
• Article from Health 101 -- See here 
• Read the Book Dressed to Kill --  See here
  
• A history of research on the subject -- See here

Getting women to do something they may feel impairs their looks may be futile but the above links should be a good start.  Ladies, those bras may be literally killing you and. really, most guys, don't like them much either.

The hippies and woman's rights activists of the 60's and 70's may have had somethings right!  Give them credit for pushing organic, healthy foods and bra-burning.
