is there something wrong with wired bras?

Question

is it just a myth that is causes breast cancer? does it stunt your growth if you are still in your developing stages?

Answer 1

There is no reliable medical proof that any type of bra causes breast cancer....

"There are no scientifically valid studies that show a correlation between wearing bras of any type and the occurrence of breast cancer."

http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/content/MED_6_1x_Underwire_Bras.asp?sitearea=MED

"A few years ago, a book was published stating that underwire bras may cause breast cancer. This is completely untrue and there is are no credible studies to support that wearing an underwire bra can cause breast cancer."

http://cancer.about.com/od/breastcancer/f/underwirebras.htm

"According to critics, however, the bra-caused breast cancer theory is not supported by sufficient evidence. Scientists say the research of Singer and Grismaijer failed to exclude confounding variables such as the presence in some women of known risk factors for breast cancer. Thus, the notion of a correlation between wearing a bra and breast cancer does not appear to hold up."

I can't find anything on wearing a bra stunting breast growth, but it sounds just as ridiculous to me! In fact, the women who are more likely to wear a bra regularly are the ones with large breasts!
