Hundreds of thousands of women today have breast cancer despite their lack of most of the established breast cancer risk factors.

A couple of research studies reported in several medical journals have established a reliable link between the culture of bra wearing in any community and the prevalence of breast cancer. One such study reported that by wearing bra for about 12hours a day, the risk of suffering not only breast cancer but other diseases related to the breast, such as cystic breasts or tight-bra syndrome, breast pain, breast tenderness was considerably increased in the research subjects. Interestingly, if this information is anything to go by, it means that by wearing bra for about 18 hours daily, you are more than 50 times more likely to suffer breast cancer compared to someone that goes 'braless' and about three times more at risk compared to smoking cigarettes.

Scientists explain that the lymphatic system helps clean the body tissues of dangerous toxins; they remove these dangerous chemicals from the body tissues and deposit them in the blood for onward excretion. Unfortunately, the strap and edges of your bra cut across the lines of the lymph vessels, thus constricting, compressing or blocking the lymphatic drainage of the chest area. If this happens for too long, it leads to a build-up of toxic substances in this area, the cells get toxic and thus prone to cancerous reactions.

Wear bras with no underwires and wear larger sized bras during your menstrual periods, as the breast tissue retains water and gets larger during menstruation. There are several unknown causes of breast cancer, it is only reasonable that you try as much as possible to reduce the known risk factors, this way you will be effectively reducing your chances of suffering breast cancer.
