Bras will really cause cancer? Are these for women’s clothes is in fact in their own death? Rumors like this have existed for several decades.
It all began in 1995 in a publication called Dressed to Kill book. In the book, Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer worked for Anthropological Research Group couple claimed that the women always dressed in a tight-fitting bras, and the risk of developing breast cancer will be higher. The authors say that inhibit the lymphatic drainage, bras make breast tissue accumulated toxins, thus leading to cancer.
However, the commentary said, bras cause breast cancer theory, there is not enough evidence to support. Scientists said that Singer and Grismaijer not rule out the possibility of mixed variables, such as the existence of such women, they already know the cause of breast cancer risk factors. Therefore, the wearing bras cause breast cancer between the concept could not be established.
“What factors will increase your risk of developing breast cancer, this rumor is simply illogical,” endocrine and reproductive epidemiology of the National Cancer Institute, will be in charge Louise Brinton said. He has worked in this field has been engaged in research work more than 30 years. He said that people generally think, the risk of breast cancer, the general will affect the level of endogenous hormones.
These risk factors include : women’s age, and her giving birth to a child’s age. (Those who have no children or 30-year-old woman after the birth prevalence of risk.) Breastfeeding and exercise can be considered lower the risk, and have a family history of the possibility of human illness will increase. Scientists also said that 5% to 10% of breast cancer with BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations.
Non-profit site breastcancer.org, chairman and founder of Marisa Weiss, the city will now some people believe bras cancer and breast cancer attributed the terrible. She has been working in this field for 20 years, and I understand how women want the rumors to check, they know the daily possibility of causing illness.
Weiss said that although in theory, to their breasts with metal wire enclosures, “not impede the flow of body fluids, and breast tissue soaked in toxic liquid” sounds like a reasonable explanation. In fact, as she pointed out, is absolutely not the case. Humoral will actually move upward from the armpit and finally discharged, they will not enter the bras.
Susan Love is located in California, Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, the President and Chief Medical Officer, is also a breast cancer surgery and the surgeon Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book, the author of this book now has up to the fourth. Love agreed bras from the myth of ignorance on the causes of frustration, coupled with a desire that this disease come from outside, from which women can control.
“You will find that people seldom think about contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy and fertility drugs,” she said, “and more pesticides, bras and deodorant. We do not know what is the reason that led to the breast, and we know that most of the risk factors can not explain it , “she added,” I do not think bras is the secret answer. “
