Wearing a bra too many hours a day could become dangerous for your health.

According to a group of specialists from the Harvard University, wearing the undergarment more than 12 hours a day increases the risk of breast cancer.

The female breasts are not characterized by muscles. The bust area consists of fatty tissue overlaying the pectorals and glandular tissue that produces milk.

According to doctors, the “whale bras” are a big no-no and the tennis bras are the best option when it comes to comfort, support, and health.

We all know that a sexy tight balconette gives the impression of a much fuller bust and draw massive male attention, but they also come with disadvantages.

Recent studies discovered that a tighter bra reduces the blood flow and affects the lymphatic tissue in the bust area.

“Wearing a tight bra tends to block the elimination of the cancerous cells and toxins, such as dioxin, benzene and other dangerous chemical substances from our body”, explained one of the researchers from the Harvard University.

The authors of the “Dressed to Kill” American best-seller studied over 4,000 women from five different cities.

Half of the women involved in the experiment ended developing a form of breast cancer.

While they were researching for the book, Sydney Ross Singer and Sona Grismaijer discovered that:

75% of the women who slept with their bras on developed breast cancer.

1 of 7 women who wore bras more than 12 hours per day ended up being diagnosed with the terrible disease.

1 of 168 women who never wore the undergarment developed breast cancer.
