Do brassieres cause breast cancer? Will switching to undershirts decrease your risk? Probably not. Although Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer, the husband and wife coauthors of Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras (ISCD Press), maintain that the bra/breast cancer link is supported by scientific evidence, their “study” of this evidence is full of holes.

The bra/breast cancer theory was born several years ago in Fiji, when Grismaijer found a lump in her breast. Around the same time, her husband noticed the red marks on her body from her bra…and became convinced that the bra was to blame for her lump.

Grismaijer did not have the lump biopsied. Instead, she began a regimen of exercise, organic vegetarian food, purified water, herbs and vitamin supplements—and complete bralessness.

Guess what? The lump disappeared. But to attribute its disappearance to not wearing a bra—as Grismaijer does—is ridiculous.
