The bra is deeply woven into the female fabric of almost all cultures worldwide, but does it really do more harm than good? The Susan G.

The bra/breast cancer connection is a thing of myth, but at least five research studies have shown that there IS a strong connection between breast cancer and bra wearing for many hours per day.
