Does Wearing Bras Greatly Increase Your Chances of Getting Breast Cancer

[ginkgo]

Here is something from the site below: "Avoid or minimize wearing a bra, synthetic clothing and even heavily chemicalized wool or cotton material (e.g. permanent press). Women who used to wear a bra 24 hours a day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer, compared to a 1 in 168 chance for women who never or rarely wore bras." I think that Selma Blair is one of the most attractive women on TV. Here she is in public without a bra.

Humor therapy is good for people so this information is tongue-in-cheek humor. Stare at the sun at noon for 15 minutes to reduce chance of breast cancer by 70%. It will blind you. Site below says: "Furthermore, sleep in total darkness, or alternatively cover your eyes during sleep. Cancer protective melatonin is released in normal amounts only when we sleep in darkness. Profoundly blind women have up to 70% less breast cancer than women with normal sight. Profoundly blind men have less cancer of the colon, lungs, prostate, skin and stomach. However, simple vision impairment does not reduce cancer rates, only if there is no sensitivity to light at all."

Also: "There is a strong negative correlation between available sunlight and breast cancer death rates; living in a sunny area is associated with lower cancer rates. Even skin cancer is inhibited by regular low-level sun exposure; only sunburn is a strong skin cancer promoter. It has been suggested that approximately 30,000 U.S. cancer deaths yearly would be averted by the widespread public adoption of regular, moderate sunning.

However, too much sunlight inhibits the immune response and is also a strong inflammation promoter. Any increased inflammatory tendency leads to stimulation of tumor growth. Therefore, with cancer, any sun exposure must be so mild that afterwards there is no reddening of the skin." I feel that a tiny bit of reddening of the skin will continue to darken your skin so it becomes harder and harder for it to redden under sunlight. Also how come Australian lifeguards have lowest rates of skin cancer and people in offices that get no sunlight have highest rates of skin cancer? Getting no reddening at all sounds gay to me.

I already knew about root canals causing cardiovascular problems: "Individuals with cancer frequently have dead teeth with filled root canals, or inflammation inside the jawbone even after removal of teeth....
Root canal filled teeth appear to be a major contributing factor in many health problems, not only cancer, but also heart disease and auto-immune diseases."

My theory is that things existing in nature do not cause cancer but man-made things do like cooking food, smoking cigarettes, man-made chemicals like pesticides, building houses with asbestos and cars burning fossil fuels. Some of this stuff is too far out for me to buy into: Health-Science-Spirit

Your theory is wrong. Most of the common carcinogens are natural, often chemical elements in their simplest forms, or natural radiations (UV rays among others). See : Carcinogen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you look at the chart (at the bottom) on the right, it shows the sources and they are man-made sources. Also it says that the UV light has to be in high enough amounts. Too much water, heathy food or exercise can kill you-- in high enough amounts ( if received in sufficient doses).

That site also says "Marie Curie, one of the pioneers of radioactivity, died of cancer caused by radiation exposure during her experiments." It also says "Higher-energy radiation, including ultraviolet radiation (present in sunlight), x-rays, and gamma radiation, generally is carcinogenic, if received in sufficient doses.

Several published studies suggest a link between exposure to light at night and risk of breast cancer, due to suppression of the normal nocturnal production of melatonin." This agrees with that other site. So my suggestion to blind yourself would work according to this. Light at night comes from man. It is man-made. It also says "Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have concluded a study that suggests that artificial light during the night can be a factor for breast cancer."

On this site Dr Shelton talks about sunbathing but not getting a sunburn. He says that getting a sunburn is like over eating. But there is a big difference between the skin getting a little red and getting 3rd degree burns with blisters all over your body. Shelton on sunbathing with picture of nude woman sunbathing.

I've decided that I enjoy wearing bras too much to worry about possible health problems.

Women who used to wear a bra 24 hours a day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer, compared to a 1 in 168 chance for women who never or rarely wore bras."

Which study produced those numbers?

That site also says "Marie Curie, one of the pioneers of radioactivity, died of cancer caused by radiation exposure during her experiments." It also says "Higher-energy radiation, including ultraviolet radiation (present in sunlight), x-rays, and gamma radiation, generally is carcinogenic, if received in sufficient doses.

Actually a higher higher dose just increases the chances that the enough gens mutate in a single cell to knock out the process that controls cell growth which leads to cancer.
