Other studies report a link between bra wearing and breast cysts and breast pain. The cancer link has not been medically established, but has not been scientifically disproven either. The first and largest study that suggested such a link was by Sydney Singer and his wife Soma Grismaijer. They conducted a five-city survey of 4,500 women in the U.S. While that's a large sample for a study, the work has been criticized as not meeting high medical research standards. The couple's alarming findings are summarized on the website 007b.com as follows:
• 3 out of 4 women who wore their bras 24 hours per day developed breast cancer. • 1 out of 7 women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed developed breast cancer. • 1 out of 152 women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day got breast cancer. • 1 out of 168 women who wore bras rarely or never acquired breast cancer.
That tallies to a 125-fold increase in the incidence of breast cancer among women who wore bras around the clock versus those who rarely or never wore bras. The American Cancer Society dismisses the study and its conclusions as not being scientifically rigorous and says, "There is no other, credible research to validate this claim in any way." However, it appears that is not quite true. ]]> http://www.mindbodyspiritjournal.com/193/do-bras-cause-breast-cancer/feed/ 0 Does this bottled water make me look fat? http://www.mindbodyspiritjournal.com/189/does-this-bottled-water-make-me-look-fat/ http://www.mindbodyspiritjournal.com/189/does-this-bottled-water-make-me-look-fat/#comments Fri, 17 Aug 2007 18:46:24 +0000 ken winston caine Body]]> Eco Living]]> Global warming]]> Holistic Health]]> Holistic Living]]> Life Support for Planet Earth]]> Living with Cancer]]> Living with Fat]]> Natural Healing]]> Save the Sky]]> Whole Living]]> http://www.mindbodyspiritjournal.com/life-support-for-planet-earth/does-this-bottled-water-make-you-look-fat ken winston caine It is possible that bottled water is making you fat and that it causes cancer. Really. The plastic bottles of designer water that you see people carrying everywhere are NOT good for you... You're beginning to read more and more about this. Packaging water in small plastic bottles has staggering environmental costs -- both in the manufacture and in the waste stream created. As well as mostly unrecognized, but severe, personal health costs. Writer Charles Fishman's fascinating and exceptional piece of in-depth health-investigative journalism in this month's Fast Company details exactly how the plastic bottled water craze is hurting you and the planet. Should you stop drinking water? Should you stop carrying water with you? No. The solution is simple:]]> http://www.mindbodyspiritjournal.com/189/does-this-bottled-water-make-me-look-fat/feed/ 8
