A Note on the Risks of Wearing Bras:

Wearing bras regularly also impairs proper lymph flow and may greatly increase the chance of
developing breast cancer. Researcher David Moth has conducted an experiment where he measured the
actual pressure exerted by bras. He says, "The results suggest that the lightest possible bras will still exert
pressures in excess of that found within the lymphatic vessels."
There are studies which confirm the link between bra wearing and breast cancer. In 1991 Hsieh &
Trichopoulos studied breast size and left/right handedness as risk factors, and noted in the findings that
premenopausal women who do not wear bras had less than half the risk of breast cancer compared with
bra wearers. The study was published in the European Journal of Cancer, 1991;27(2):131-5.
Another more recent study (2000), published in Chronobiology International (the journal of biological
and medical rhythm research), found that wearing a bra decreased melatonin production and increased the
core body temperature. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and hormone that promotes good sleep,
fights aging, boosts immune system, and slows the growth of certain types of cancer, including breast
cancer.
The most comprehensive studies on this subject were performed by medical researcher Sydney Singer.
Singers found that the Maoris of New Zealand who integrated into white culture had the same rate of
breast cancer, while the marginalized aboriginals of Australia had practically no breast cancer. The same
was true for "Westernized" Japanese, Fijians and other bra-converted cultures.
In the early 1990s Singers studied 4,500 women in 5 cities across the U.S. about their bra-wearing
habits. He found that 3 out of 4 women who wore their bras 24 hours per day developed breast cancer.
Furthermore, 1 out of 7 women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed developed breast
cancer. By comparison, merely 1 out of 152 women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had
breast cancer, and only 1 out of 168 women who wore bras rarely or never developed breast cancer. In
other words, the difference between 24 hour wearing of a bra and not at all was 125-fold.

A Note on the Dangers of Breast Implants

Over 300,000 women a year get breast implants. Having breast implants and undergoing
mammograms can endanger your health. I have received many letters from women who have or had
silicone breast implants that ruptured. One woman had this to say: “... I have had them for 23 years with
no problems. Then they started to leak. The way I knew was I had pain in my chest and numbness and
tingling down my arms. I got them out as quickly as possible and did not replace them. The doctor told
me that it was a bad rupture and I had silicone in my lymph nodes and chest, and he could only clean up
so much of it because it is like glue.” There are many other ingredients in the implants (listed below);
heavy metals such as aluminum and platinum are used as catalysts to turn the liquid to silicone gel. Silica
is used as a filler; it is deadly if it gets into the lungs.
