Re: breast cancer
May be the want to sell the whites one? could be some marketing strategy
Re: breast cancer
^ excuse me. Its nt one bit funny. We are talking about shaukat khanum here not some joke that they would be sending these msgs for marketting.
Re: breast cancer
Some studies suggest that wearing bras ( all colors included ) does increase chances of Breast Cancer
It was found that the odds of getting breast cancer dramatically increased with bra-wearing over 12 hours per day.
Women who wore their bras 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 wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting breast cancer. The overall difference between 24 hour wearing and not at all was a 125-fold difference.
The lymphatic circulation in many tissues (especially the primary lymphatics) are highly dependent on MOVEMENT. When you sit for a long time on an airplane flight, your feet and ankles can swell, because lymphatic circulation goes to near zero. Wearing a bra, especially a constricting one with underwires, and especially to bed, prevents normal lymphatic flow and would likely lead to anoxia (lower than normal oxygen content), which has been related to fibrosis, which has been linked to increased cancer risk

OMG!!
Re: breast cancer
Bitter reality, they are just studies. Not necessarily mean that they have been proven right. Some research done here and there etc etc. PLUS you have to know that NOT all females are the same. So one type of study would not apply to all of the females in the world. PLUS I think that the study is just a (&*^**… So women should stop wearing bras so men can gawk even more at them? At night yes, if women want they can remove their bras but they should atleast wear them in the day time.
PLUS BITTER REALITY you forgot to read the studies which show that alot of movement of the breasts cause pain and can be proved damaging to the natural support system. This is why women wear bras!
AND BITTER REALITY WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO WEAR BRAS IS THAT Breasts are made up of fat, milk ducts and connective tissues, such as collagen, ligaments and blood vessels. The momentum created by intense bouncing can stretch the breast’s connective tissues, causing sagging and pain for many women. An estimated 50 percent of women experience breast pain during exercise or walking when they are not wearing bras.
IMPORTANCE OF WEARING A SPORTS BRA | Fleet Feet Winston Salem
ALSO another STUDY suggests BITTER REALITY that the cause of BREAST CANCER is not that women ARE wearing BRAS but infact they are wearing ILL FITTED BRAS!!!
A preliminary study was undertaken by two hospitals and a BUPA consultant surgeon and it showed that 76% of women referred to the consultant with breast pain found that proper fitting alleviated their symptoms! No surgical intervention or other treatment was required.
An unrelated study found evidence to suggest that an ill fitting bra can restrict the lymphatic flow within the breast, possibly leading to an increased risk of BREAST CANCER.
For FURTHER benefits of wearing a BRA please read this(although I must add that it should not matter to you or BE OF CONCERN TO YOU AS YOU ARE A NOT A MEMBER OF THE FEMALE SPECIES ON THE PLANET EARTH)
Re: breast cancer
The first bra came in 1907 you can confirm it . It became a popular fashion and now has become a necessity.
Fibrocystic breast disease,is another disease caused by bras. For years, doctors have recommended that women avoid caffeine, high fat diets and so on, and even to take drugs with strong side effects. In some cases this helps, in others it doesn’t. However, recent research has offered new hope because it has shown a strong connection between the wearing of bras and benign fibrocystic lumps, cysts and pain. For example, Dr. Gregory Heigh of Florida has found that over 90% of women with fibrocystic changes find improvement when they stop wearing their brassieres. .
In many parts of the world , even in villages of Pakistan women don’t wear it and percentage of breast cancer is very less there compared to urban areas
Re: breast cancer
well wearing or not wearing bras is not the only reason behind breast cancer. and these r jst studies white, black bra no bra nothing is for sure.

u have any clue wat women used to wear b4 bras were invented? :D they used to wear those cages known as corsettes that can actually deform body shape and they used to be so tight that usually women fainted cuz of less blood circulation or breathlesness. now imgine how many women might have breast cancer back then?
Re: breast cancer
But I do belong to human specie and cancer is a disease that concerns me.
Re: breast cancer
^ 
and aisha men can have breast cancer too 
its not liek they dont have chests

I suggest that you visit rural areas of Pakistan and see for yourself. Most women still dont wear it. The first modern brassiere to receive a patent was the one invented in 1913 by a New York socialite named Mary Phelps Jacob.
You can research it on your own and will find the authenticity of my claim.
Re: breast cancer
Yes thats true. Wearing tight fitting vests ( Undershirts ) can block lymphatic nodes in men too. Its all scientific and does make a lot of sense to me. Since women have more fat than men so they are more prone to blockage of lymphatic nodes.
Re: breast cancer
well if pl dont know that bras exist then not my fault :D
and im not rejecting ur calim i knw when bras were invented. im jst saying that in other parts fo the world woemn didnt roam bra less they wore even worse things. woemn used to wear corsets b4 bras were invented and it kinda liberated women from those shackles. might not be true for paksitani women but im talking generally bout all of the women.
Re: breast cancer
I know men can have breast cancer and I even know MEN wear bras, those that are queer or cross dress that is! 
But the way he came out with that study that women should not wear bras blah blah blah just infurirated me. The point of writing all that last night was that those are all studies!!! Not really proven to be all correct innit! 100% without falacies.
AND NORMAL MEN DO NOT WEAR BRAS!!! albeit they could get Breast Cancer! This thread is about women wearing bras and the ALLEGED link between that and BREAST CANCER.
Bitter Reality you are trying too hard. 
Re: breast cancer
Gone are those days when people were appreciated for their sincerity…ub to Naiki ka zamana hi nahi. I just shared this info for benefit of people.
These researchs are not just speculations…people did data collection and interviews.
I rest my case…I don’t want Vanity fair or La Senza sue me for downing their sales.
Re: breast cancer
** In many parts of the world , even in villages of Pakistan women don't wear it and percentage of breast cancer is very less there compared to urban areas**
I believe this may be attributed to their diet and lifestyles (eating purer, healthier food that is free of chemicals/processed, and working harder, more exercise etc.)
Re: breast cancer
^that is so true!
Re: breast cancer
Exactly, you said it youself. Naiki Ka Zamana nahi hai.
As for Vanity Fair, they do not sell bras, they are a fashion magazine. Jidher itni googling ki hai you should have googled this and then said anything about Vanity Fair. As far La Senza or any other bra manufacturer and seller goes, I am not there sales representative or something.
Exactly even though there is data collection, it is not concrete and as far as studies go, you presented one study I presented two studies opposing your STUDY.
Good that you rest your case.
In science and maths there is nothing absolute. Especially in science, there will be one study and then someone else will come and challenge that study. The human body is a very complex thing to understand and this is why many studies are done. NOT just one and decisions cannot be based on the basis of just ONE study saying for instance that BRAS should not be worn. People will be in the wrong if they do do that.
Re: breast cancer
May i ad my 2 cents:
I am not going to do ph.d scientific research for my post but:
will say:
1)the shukat khanaum that say to change bra daily cud be becos: as old bra';s gather dirt, germs and polluting bacteria that pose infection risk..so wear new clean ones, that dnt pose any risk.
2)white as opposed to black-- well scientifically white is a reflecter of heat/light while black is the absorber/intaker.- And people with black bras wud be unproportionally absorbing more heat into thier breasts than the rests of thier bodies, and the more heat/thermal energy is also cancer causing.
3) I also agree that it is more a case of unproperly fitted bras that cause the problems as opposed to normal bras*.*
In this case B.R do a google check, u will find many males who are complaining of testicular/infertility problems due to underpants. On diagnosis it was seen that sucha case is common for men who wear tightly/inapprpitaly fitting underwears as oppsed to normal ones.
B.R what planet do u come from...can you imagine a world without women wearing bras and men unwearing underpants?
I think it is the excess of anything that causes the prob.s
sometimes we shud give our natural parts a break from the long constraints and just let them be,
WE should be without them over-night sometimes.
I hope my comments helped someone
