True or false: Underwire bras cause cancer

 
My mom won't let me buy an underwire bra because she says they give you breast cancer. Is this true? I’m really sick of wearing wireless bras…

 

The notion that underwire bras give you breast cancer popped up in the ‘90s, and thankfully, it’s just a myth. The idea was that underwire trapped toxins in the breast tissue, which could cause cancer, according to Scientific American.

 

Thankfully, that theory has never been supported by any research. Doctors point to the fact that it’s easier to demonize innocent things like bras instead of focusing on the more likely factors, such as hormones.

 

Phew!

My mom says underwires in bras causes scar tissue, which my doctor agreed with, but only if your bra doesn't fit properly. But on the other hand, bras without wire tend to not be as supportive, and if your boobs are flopping around it can cause scar tissue to form too.

MOD!!!!!!****** DO you have muscle in your boobs? And whats the difference between lumps and muscle if you have muscle or... I am soooo confused......Help........ (The main question is if you have musle in your boobs or are they lumps?) Again realllly confused!

 

 

Hey girly! I'm pretty sure that boobs are just fat. If you have a lump, and it's hard to the tough, I'd get it checked out by a doctor. Better safe than sorry!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
