I'd like to see the paper that claims to disprove that study, rather than just a smug statement.

It was discussed at length in one of my anatomy classes. I don't know if I still have the original papers, but it was a collection of papers searched out from Pubmed, and other various medical databases.

I do however agree with you that toxics can build up. and the link between toxins and cancer.

well guess I'll step up, be the pig and say something inappropriate, how's "just in-case, let the girls be free"

I think this thread lost its focus a little… My friend, Su-Ellen Mishkie… Okay, serious Paul, NO Seinfeld references….

Ahem.

The thing that I’ve always found with these medical studies is that they really don’t know anything at the beginning, then, after a while, the find the truth somewhere between the extremes…

Don’t eat eggs.
Eat eggs.
Just the whites.

Or perhaps…

Butter.
Margarine.
Just use a little oil.
Okay, eat butter, just a little though.

And now my personal favorite;

Cover yourself in oil and sit in the sun (okay, maybe the medical community never endorsed that one…)
No sun.
Just a little sun, with sun screen.

That said, I have to hand it to this study, it says that it’s okay to wear a bra for less than 12 hours days, so that’s a “Just a little”… The fact of the matter is that in this day and age, everything gives you cancer – mind as well look with your shirt off in the mean time.

I saw on a show on TV awhile back (sorry, I don't recall which show) that claimed a huge % (sorry, I don't recall the "figure") of women wear the wrong size bra. Wrong size = constriction. Maybe this is the cause for this "studied" link to breast cancer?

Burn the Bra...we tried that in the 60's. Didn't last long enough. We need a new law making all women who wear them criminals!

Oh sure you say that now but wait a few years. Being able to tuck them into your pants would not be a pretty sight you'd be screaming for new laws
