Question:

Has there been any studies done as to the bra having any relation to the cause of breast cancer?

Do women that have never worn a bra have cancer at the same rate as those that have worn a bra?


Answers:

The incidence of breast cancer has been reported to be higher in women who wear a bra, especially the type with underwire.
There are many reasons why women and men will contract breast cancer and not all due to wearing bras. Hormones can play a large part in contracting breast cancer in both sexes.
Akuninum in deodorants is also suspect and should be avoided
But specific to your question bras have been attributed to increasing the risk. Many of the cancer research sites mention constrictive bras and underwires as playing a role.
Another study apart from clothing was to test Nuns, who had a very high incudence of breast cancer ( possiblye due to constricive clothing to reduce the evidence of having breasts. Also the highest incidence of cervical cancer in any group. The latter possibly caused by celibacy.

Sports bras were recommended or the swing free approach. Tribes that wear no support have a very low incidence of breast cancer.
