Take off the Bra.

Bras and Breast Cancer

Do you wear bra for the whole day and even at home? I think we should go bra-free after reading these articles. It’s a message to your health. Please pass this to all female friends you know. I think it’s important to be aware. For years, a lot of articles with regards to the causes of breast cancer point to an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise as the major links to this disease which happens to be the biggest killer among women during these last two decades. These studies would have been almost credible if it were not for the fact that several women including Linda McCartney who have been

religious vegetarians and exercise-freaks have also been unfortunate in suffering breast cancer. Perhaps 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 " Bra and Breast Cancer Study " in the United States, it was discovered that women with breast cancer had a history of sporting tighter and longer bra-wearing than did the women who had not ( yet) developed the disease. In fact, virtually all of the cancer group wore bras over 12 hours size = 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 build-up, swelling, tenderness and cyst formation. Toxins must be flushed out via the lymphatic.

However, a bra-constricted breast cannot adequately perform this cleansing process, resulting in toxin accumulation in the breast. Truthfully, bras are creating droopy, weak breasts…the breast relies on the bra for artificial support, the body loses its ability to support the breast by itself. This is why many women feel uncomfortable without a bra. What is the solution to breast cancer then? DON’T WEAR A TIGHT BRA! And maybe sleep without them. < /o:p>

There is a remarkable success rate for recovery from fibrocystic breast disease within 10 days to two weeks of going bra-free. Many women have tried going bra-less And recorded a miraculous improvement in their health!

Bra-burning is no longer a feminist issue…it is now a battle between life and death. We should make others more aware of the hazards of wearing…please pass this e-mail on to everyone you know!

Re: Take off the Bra.

^ Hell yeah! I dunno any girl that sleeps with a bra on , I never have, never will! :snooty: I walk around the house like that too since my dad’s been gone.. my mom hates it though hehehehe

Re: Take off the Bra.

ever heard about statistical flows?
how come flu and women wearing pants are related, cause women wear pants during winter, and flu occurs at that time, will you suggest to women to wear skirts i winter in order to avoid flu???
same with bras! mostly big breast women wear tight bra during long hours, while flat women can drop bra…as breast cancer is linked to oestrogen and bra size too, i think we should consider those statistics with a more scientific point of view, and never jump to the easiest (often false) conclusion

Re: Take off the Bra.

^ i didnt write the article.

Re: Take off the Bra.

I do. The only time it comes off is when I am taking a shower, maybe if you arent that big you can go without it but not with DDs you cant live without a bra.

Re: Take off the Bra.

i know…my answer was general and not against you:)

Re: Take off the Bra.

exactly:D…try to explain that to the men who wrote the article:D (but i don’t feel the need it when i sleep though)

Re: Take off the Bra.

no way....no freaking way!

Re: Take off the Bra.

I also don't know anyone who sleeps with their bra on....I certainly don't....heck I don't even wear it when I'm at home....but then again I live by myself so I don't have to worry about dad/brothers etc. When I lived at home though I wore it at home whenever dad was at home.

As long as the bra fits properly(isn't so tight that's it's cutting off proper blood flow), and you don't wear it 24/7, I don't see why it would cause any health problems at all.

Re: Take off the Bra.

sorry if i'm derailing the thread but its kind of related....i went for my 1st mammogram today. Sheeeee-at! The jerk who invented the dam machine HAD to be a guy.

Re: Take off the Bra.

How old are you? over 50?

Re: Take off the Bra.

It might also have to do with the fact that 8 out of 10 ppl in America do not wear the proper bra. Did anyone see Oprah’s show today?? She did a bra intervention!! http://www.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200511/tows_past_20051115.jhtml[

Get a bra fitting women!!!](“http://www.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200511/tows_past_20051115_c.jhtml)”)
