No that is an old wise tale
Cancer is malignant cell growth in any part of the body.. When it is Breast cancer the malignant cells grow in a breast. Your friend clearly has no knowledge of cancer whatsoever as a bra if any has no bearing on that…
no….that’s preposterous.
I’ve actually heard it’s better to sleep in a sports bra rather than nothing at all. sleeping or not, you need support, and no, it won’t give you cancer.
well i always sleep in a bra :]
Absolutely not
These urban myths/legends concerning breast cancer and bras refuse to die, and all are nonsense. You don’t get breast cancer by sleeping in any kind of bra,or by wearing a badly-fitting bra either, or wearing a wired bra or from anything to do with bras.
Breast cancer, like all other cancers, happens when normal cells change so that they grow in an uncontrolled way. This uncontrolled growth causes a tumour to form. Underwear cannot trigger this process
