Does anyone out there think that bras, antiperspirants, and mammographys can cause breast cancer?

I would have to say no. However, as a 14 year breast cancer survivor, during my radiation therapy I was told not to wear any antiperspirants. They said that deodorant was okay but not to wear antiperspirant. I think at the time they thought it could cause cancer. But, then just eating these days can cause cancer. Just a footnote for those that say breast cancer has something to do with heredity, my cancer was the type you would find in families, only No one but me in my family had breast cancer. So, no one is immune to this rotten disease, anyone at any age, race man or women can get breast cancer.

There is nothing that says that tose things cause breast cancer. Most are ole wives tales. Breast cancer is typically caused by genetic factors, or hormone balances.

yes , i am sure and research has proven that amongst a group of ladies with breast cancer, that a fair bet of them had aluminum deposits in the cancerous tissue. aluminum is the main ingredient in antiperspirants. besides if you think of it, antiperspirants stop your sweat from being discarded out of your body and so then they are deposited in the tissue around the breasts from the arm pit area. sweat is composed of toxins that your body needs to get rid of.

These things continue to be disproven over and over again...however fat in our diet,not enough fiber,smoking,no exercise etc...have ALL been proven to either cause or contribute to different types of cancer..so focus on the facts of things you can control and that are known.

No. Has a lot more to do with your hereditary disposition such as 1st degree relatives with breast cancer. 1st degree being mother, sister.
