She's stupid, cancer is usually an internal thing. Wearing a bra to sleep can keep your boobs from getting bigger, though.

yes - and if you sit on a toilet seat that a pregnant woman sat on -- you'll get pregnant too!

I don't believe that there are any studies that prove this scientifically. However, isn't it uncomfortable? Don't they need room to breathe every know and then?

No thats just a myth, they said that it was a myth on the Tyra Banks show.

cancer is caused by abnormal cell growth. The only thing your bra strap will do is slow down circulation in the area it is too tight and cause a red mark
14 :
im pretty sure that is just a myth..dont believe everything you hear lol
15 :
I don't think you should be wearing a bra to sleep! Its not good to have constant pressure on parts of you. But I doubt it causes cancer. You should wear a fitted singlet or something if you need a little support.
16 :
This is not true at all. Cancer starts from precancerous cells.
17 :
NO. NEVER breast cancer is causes by cancer cells attacking your breast tissues, causing it to become hard. your friend is wrong.
18 :
No. I always wear a bra to bed. I don't have the biggest boobies by a long shot, but recently it has become uncomfortable to sleep w/o a bra. My tits flop all over the place, and end up in my b'f's mouth!
19 :
that is sooo not true. i'll sometimes wear a bra to sleep and havnt gotten breast cancer!
20 :
There is no scientific proof. It only causes red marks under the breasts, and I think breast cancer is genetics, or sometimes without genetics, best thing is to get checked. Read this article here.. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/content/MED_6_1x_Underwire_Bras.asp?sitearea=MED

No, there is absolutely no way to get breast cancer from wearing a bra to sleep. It is a highly circuited rumor and is totally untrue. If you are at all concerned about getting breast cancer, the best way to check for it is to make regularly scheduled visits to your doctor, gynecologist. In addition, it is suggested that you administer a self-check in the comfort of your own home for any lumps of irregularities. Have a doctor show you the correct technique to that. These kind of precautions save many womens lives as they are alerted early and are able to take the correct action. I hope this helped.
22 :
doctors are recommending not to wear them to sleep. and not to wear the push ups
23 :
No. There is no documented scientific evidence anywhere that suggests that wearing a bra to bed causes cancer. It's a myth. American Cancer Society: Bras and Breast Cancer Email Rumor http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/content/MED_6_1x_Underwire_Bras.asp?sitearea=MED
24 :
I can tell you that it definitely will not cause breast cancer. Although, if the under wire broke through you could cut yourself up pretty bad.
25 :
no
26 :
No! Why do people believe things like that
