Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras

This booked was referenced by another booked I was reading called Fatal Conveniences by Darin Olien. I was comepelled to read this book and I am happy I did. As an PhD environmental scientist and researcher I find that the authors study had great merit and the experimental design was well thought out and explained. You know something is up when the *powers at be* tried so hard to keep these findings from the public-- which is a shame, but not supprising. Even if you don't agree with the conclusions--I would certainly encourage this read to get a different prospective on prevention, breast health and history. I would love if the authors designed another updated experiment with other variables or just for replication etc. Bravo to the team and authors. Thank you for your work!

Reading this book, it seems like such an obvious possibility that wear tight fitting garments (bras) around the breasts is such a natural idea, and one would have expected to have been evaluated long before these authors (and scientists) came along, but sadly, until they did their research, it has never been studied. The idea that snug fitting garments could cut off the flow of lymph fluid seems so obvious, but apparently it wasn't. The book is a good read and provides for the methodology for their data which shows a correlation between bra usage and increased cancer risk. It is not the end to the search, but certainly a place we should be investigating more closely. I highly recommend this book to all women. It may not be the complete answer to what causes breast cancer, but certainly might be a piece to the puzzle. And to the authors, I would suggest you evaluate women from nudist colonies, as surely they wear bras much less often than other women.

A Must-read for Every woman.

My wife and I both read this book and discussed it a lot. She is a science teacher and I am an engineer. It is clear this book and study needs a peer review. The writing quality regarding critical thinking, logical fallicies, and overly dramatic scare statements needs improvement. Despite that, their basic arguments and evidence are sound. Being the skeptics that we are, I independently verified the various studies referenced by both sides of the argument. The short version is there is zero credible evidence to prove bras don't cause cancer, and limited evidence that indicate bras could cause cancer along with many other health problems. When I reviewed the study referenced from the American Cancer Society, I was surprised that they misrepresented the truth of their study. I don't know what to make of that. It is clear that more and bigger studies need to be done to get a better understanding. I'd like to give advice but I know few, if any women are going to care what a man thinks they should do with their bras. You should read it and decide for yourself.

Every woman (and even men who have women they love in their life) should read this book. Some of the world is starting to wake up to this truth, with positive consequences. Others are falling into the lie and seeing a rise in breast cancer.

This book was great. Your health is important and this book should how breast cancer can be link to your bra.

Important information on the risks of wearing bras and how bras are the leading cause of breast cancer. Every woman should read this. The information here can save lives.

While I don't dispute the results of their research, this 36DDD isn't burning her bra; I ride horseback, and can't imagine the discomfort and damage that would result. Like "avoid the sun", this may be good advice for some people, but one size does not fit all.

The authors of this book make a very compelling case for their theory that tight fitting, restrictive bras contribute to formation of breast cancer. I'm not surprised people are so quick to dismiss or even ridicule it as "pseudoscience" given the cultural climate these days and that's sad. However if you are willing to keep an open mind and actually just listen to what they have to say you might be surprised. It's a light, easy read and some parts explaining the science behind their approach can be skimmed if you are only interested in the meat and potatoes of their research. I highly recommend you give it a chance, ladies!
