My oldies often tell me that as much as possible women should not wear brassieres especially the ones with under wire because it can cause breast cancer. They often compare the present with their past observations wherein seldom would women wear bra and that there was no such thing as breast cancer. Do you really think wearing brassieres can cause breast cancer?

This was actually in Popular science a while back (A dispelling medical myths article) http://www.popsci.com/scitech/gallery/2009-07/gallery-overhyped-health-headlines-revealed
"The Bottom Line
Beware headlines about underwear—this story continues to make the rounds, but no clinical study has shown bras to be any more cancer-causing than spandex, neckties or G-strings."
