In order to reduce the risk of getting breast cysts and clogged milk ducts, it is advisable to avoid underwires.

In the book Dressed to Kill by Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer, 4,000 women were interviewed over a two-year period. Half of the women had been diagnosed with breast cancer at that time. A 75 percent majority of the women who slept in their bras developed breast cancer. The women who didn’t wear a bra had significantly lower breast cancer rates. Only one in 168 women who did not wear a bra was diagnosed with breast cancer. Even more compelling, when women ditched their bras for a month, their cysts, breast pain, and tenderness symptoms all went away.
In acupuncture, applying repeated pressure to specific points can cause over-stimulation of crucial lymphatic reflex points. When the metal in underwire bras continuously causes inflammation to these acupuncture points, the liver, gallbladder, and stomach may be implicated.
A study on Japanese and Fiji women found that breast cancer risk went up as soon as they began to wear bras. The research concluded that these breast cancers are the body’s way of adapting to the inflammation and restricted lymph flow. Similar results were found in a 1991 article published in the European Journal of Cancer. Pre-menopausal women who did not wear bras were 50 percent less likely to get breast cancer compared to women who regularly wore bras.
