They say that a picture is worth a thousand words! Well I guess that's true because my recent blog post "Ladies, Ditch the Bra" from Fearless Parent, which included the image of that turquoise bra got a lot of attention! If you didn't read the article, check it out and share it and this post with the women you care about. Ditching the bra just might be the "simplest solution" for breast health that you've ever heard; and if you just can't bring yourself to ditching the bra, at least unhook more often and remove those underwires!
In my August 7th post, I mention the book "Dressed to Kill - The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras" by Medical Anthropologists, Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Ross Grismeijer. (The book is available below.)
Singer and Grismeijer have several excellent, well researched articles on breast health and breast cancer on their "Killer Culture" website. You can view them here. They also offer an opportunity to participate in no-cost, no-risk self studies, including one on breast health.

| Did you know that in cultures where there are no bras there is virtually no breast cancer? When you think about how bras constrict the breasts and interfere with circulation and lymphatic drainage, that makes a lot of sense. If you suffer from breast pain, cysts, or lumps, and fear developing breast cancer, you can enroll in the international Breast Cancer Prevention Project through Killer Culture and the "Institute for the Study of Culturogenic Disease" (ISCD). | |
According to Singer, in his article "Bra Cancer" . . . "This project has shown a 95 percent success rate in improving breast health. After years of suffering from breast pain and cysts, many participants have found phenomenal improvement within days of starting this program. It is cost-free, risk-free, and is the best thing you can do to prevent breast cancer, as well. It all has to do with the cultural practice of wearing tight bras, and the effect this has on the circulation within the breasts."
As Singer points out, the easiest way for a woman to determine if her own bra is damaging her breasts is to go without one for a while and feel the difference; and that is what the Breast Cancer Prevention Project is about. You simply commit to being bra-free for one month and let your body tell you the results.
"For the thousands of women who have tried this, the results are spectacular. Having bound their breasts since puberty, the feeling of breast freedom sometimes may seem strange at first. But within days, the breasts have their chance to drain of congestion and excess fluid. Tenderness ends. Menstrual breast pain may disappear altogether. Cysts vanish. It’s like a miracle."
