Amazon.com
Singer and Grismaijer have collected striking (but preliminary) evidence that bra-wearing may be a major risk factor associated with breast cancer: women who wear tight-fitting bras 24 hours a day are 125 times more likely to have breast cancer than women who do not wear bras at all. Their interpretation is that tight clothing inhibits the proper functioning of the lymphatic system (an internal network of vessels and nodes that flushes wastes from the body) and leads to a buildup of carcinogenic compounds in the constricted areas.
Although it must be emphasized that their studies are preliminary, still controversial, and definitely need to be followed up with detailed analyses of correlative factors (do these women have higher rates of smoking? do they have less-healthy diets?), this book should be read by anyone concerned about breast cancer. Possibly a very important book that could save many lives.
Kurzbeschreibung
Presents evidence supporting the authors' theory that bras suppress the lymphatic system, causing toxins to accumulate in the tissues of the breasts, leading to a variety of health problems.

As a longtime sufferer of fibrocystic breast disease--and a very devoted bra wearer--I was thrilled to discover this book. Not wearing a bra is a frightening prospect in some ways, and I do sympathize with women even larger than I am (36C). Nevertheless, I tried the authors' suggestion to try going bra-free and within two days the shooting pains in my left breast that got me in for an emergency mammogram were gone. It is possible that the claim in the subtitle that there is a connection between bras and breast cancer is premature, but my own experience convinced me of the connection between bras, lymphatic congestion, and fibrocystic disease. For this reason alone, I think this book is well worth reading. Breast pain and tenderness, although not common symptoms of breast cancer, are still treated as possible indices of cancer, with all the anxiety that entails. If something as simple as wearing a camisole instead of a bra (and not looking as young and shapely, I'll grant you) can be an effective symptomatic treatment for this condition that is in some women precancerous, why not? It's not a substitute for medical care, cutting out alcohol and caffeine, eating a low-fat diet, and supplementing with vitamins E and A; it may, however, be a very useful adjunct.

A very interesting theory that needs further workup. Unfortunately, don't expect the medical establishment to spend a dime researching it. There's no money to be made from telling women to take off their bras (not in this context anyway) so there will be no research on this issue. This book is it.
The criticism that this book is not written by MDs wrings quite hollow, since MDs don't know what causes breast cancer. The medical profession continues to view cancer as a profit maker (see The Cancer Industry by Moss) and goes out of its way to persecute/prosecute anyone who would dare to cure cancer by a non-AMA approved method (see The Persecution of Gaston Naessens by Bird). The medical establishment certainly has no interest in a cancer cure that's free and doesn't require a doctor.
The criticism that ths book does not adequately account for all variables is also hilarious since there are no medical experiments in the history of mankind that do so. Real life always throws more variables at a situation than can ever be accounted for in a controlled study. Controlled studies typically only control two or three factors.
The criticism that bras can't contibute to cancer because some people need to wear bras is, at best, completely irrational. And yes, wearing tight shoes can cause numerous orthopedic and circulatory problems, so the relationship between bras and breast cancer may not be as strange as one might think.

The authors have discivered that the best weapon in the fight against breast cancer is something that is absolutely free! The book clearly describes a study of almost 5000 women and it shows that the more hours per day that a woman wears a bra, the higher is her risk of breast cancer. The numbers are so overwhelming that this book demands the attention of the medical community and women everywhere. Overall, the difference between 24-hour bra-wearing (yes, many women actually do this) and being bra-free was a 125-fold difference in breast cancer rates. Even wearing them less than 12 hours per day showed an increased risk. Their scientific rationale is that bras can impair the lymphatic circulation of the breast. This causes fluid trapping (cysts), the buildup of toxins and breast damage. The swelling caused by constriction and lack of natural movement is similar to what people notice on long airplane flights when their legs and feet swell from a lack of circulation. Besides their dramatic numbers, what is also convincing is that the authors' theory explains most known risk factors for breast cancer. Looking at the real-world significance of the book, many women that I know who have read this book and tried being bra-free for a few weeks have told of dramatic improvement from breast pain and lumpiness. Years ago, many people thought that the idea of cigarettes causing lung cancer was funny. In "Dressed To Kill," Singer and Grismaijer have shown that bras are nothing to laugh about. And they have shown women that breast cancer prevention can start with a free and simple clothing choice

Ridiculous
Never before have I wanted to burn a book until this one. This book made me so angry it took all my control not to toss it across the book store into the nearest trash can. Lesen Sie weiter...

It makes good logical, and medical sense.
I was surprised the authors actually had some real merit, and not some goofballs making claims that didn't have any real evidence. Lesen Sie weiter...

Pseudo-science, but tantalizing.
In a nutshell, the book "Dressed to Kill - the Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras" by Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer is a work of pseudo-science. Lesen Sie weiter...

Proceed with caution
There is certainly a reason to investigate the connection between any nearly universal behavior (such as wearing bras) and the incidence of breast cancer. Lesen Sie weiter...
