The ONLY possible risk would be if it is an under wire bra and you live close to a radio or tv station transmitter antenna.You could potentially receive radio frequency radiation through the wire. It's pretty far fetched.

When a woman wears a tight bra, she subjects her breasts to pressure, closing off the lymphatic pathway from the breast to the nodes. This causes fluid built-up swelling, tenderness and cyst formation. Toxins must be flushed out via the lymphatic. However, a bra-constricted breast cannot adequately perform this cleansing process, resulting in toxin accumulation in the breast. > > Truthfully, bras are creating droopy, weak breasts....the breast relies on the bras for artificial support; the body loses its ability to support the breast by itself. This is why many women feel uncomfortable without the bra. > What is the solution to breast cancer then? DON'T WEAR A TIGHT BRA!
