 A great read June 24, 2010

An excellent book, which needs reading by all people.
There is no doubt bras can cause breast cancer, but by how much?

There is certainly a reason to investigate the connection between any nearly universal behavior (such as wearing bras) and the incidence of breast cancer. Unfortunately, only a double blind study will do that, and it would have to be designed differently than these authors have done it. I wondered several things as I read: is there reason to investigate whether women who wear bras 24 hours a day have other physiological problems? Fibro-myalgia? Cramping, tenderness in the breast? That is, should we be investigating the reason women are wearing bras 24 hours a day? Do they have psychological reasons to wear them - such as a family history of breast cancer? I suspect a huge percentage of women who wear wedding rings also have breast cancer. As a survivor, I worry about women who may take off their bras and think they've protected themselves from breast cancer. If clothing can cause a genetic event (development of a cancerous cell) why don't we get bladder cancer ! from Lycra panties. Hmmm?

The authors have discivered that the best weapon in the fight against breast cancer is something that is absolutely free! The book clearly describes a study of almost 5000 women and it shows that the more hours per day that a woman wears a bra, the higher is her risk of breast cancer. The numbers are so overwhelming that this book demands the attention of the medical community and women everywhere. Overall, the difference between 24-hour bra-wearing (yes, many women actually do this) and being bra-free was a 125-fold difference in breast cancer rates. Even wearing them less than 12 hours per day showed an increased risk. Their scientific rationale is that bras can impair the lymphatic circulation of the breast. This causes fluid trapping (cysts), the buildup of toxins and breast damage. The swelling caused by constriction and lack of natural movement is similar to what people notice on long airplane flights when their legs and feet swell from a lack of circulation. Besides their dramatic numbers, what is also convincing is that the authors' theory explains most known risk factors for breast cancer. Looking at the real-world significance of the book, many women that I know who have read this book and tried being bra-free for a few weeks have told of dramatic improvement from breast pain and lumpiness. Years ago, many people thought that the idea of cigarettes causing lung cancer was funny. In "Dressed To Kill," Singer and Grismaijer have shown that bras are nothing to laugh about. And they have shown women that breast cancer prevention can start with a free and simple clothing choice.
