Your Bra May Be Killing You – Scientists Call For Boycott Of Komen

Rubbish.

The lymph system doesn't remove "toxins", it returns the serous portion of the blood that leaks into tissues at the level of the capillaries back to the vascular system. If there were toxins in that fluid, the lymph system would be dumping them right back into the circulatory system.

A loose fitting bra wound neither restrict nor improve lymphatic drainage from the breast, while a tight fitting bra would actually improve lymphatic drainage of the breast. The treatment of poor lymphatic drainage is primarily the application of tight compressive garments/wrapping to the affected segment.

wearing [a bra] less than 12 hours reduces her risk to one in 152, while cutting it out completely carries a one in 168 risk

Wow. That's pretty impressive, considering that the incidence of breast cancer is at least one in 10.

It's bullshit. If your bra is tight enough to seriously impede your circulation, then you're too stupid to own breasts.

What an unadulterated crock of shit.
