Bras:to wear or not ? Ladies read this study and fling your bras away.

 

Beware: Bras causes chest, back pains


Women should forget every good thing they’ve been told about bras. 
Could wearing a bra be doing your figure more harm than good? Controversial study says underwear 'is not needed''

According to a new French study wearing a bra does nothing to reduce back pain, and the chest supports actually cause increased chest sagging.
The results of a mammoth 15-year study led by professor Jean-Denis Rouillon, from the University of Besançon in eastern France, are finally in and it looks like conventional wisdom about bras and back pain has been way off the mark.
His controversial research concluded that a bra could ‘prevent supporting tissues from growing’, and that breasts might be less likely to sag without one.

It would mean the likes of gardener Charlie Dimmock, who became famous for not wearing a bra on Ground Force, and actress Anne Hathaway, who  frequently goes without one at awards ceremonies, have the correct approach.
Professor Rouillon, a sports scientist from the University of Franche-Comte in Besancon, eastern France, spent 15 years studying 130 women with different bust sizes.

According to Rouillon, the lesson to be learned from the preliminary results of his marathon experiment is that “bras are a false necessity”.
“Medically, physiologically, anatomically – breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity. On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra,” Professor Rouillon said.
Using a slide rule and caliper, Rouillon spent years carefully measuring changes in the orientation of breasts belonging to hundreds of women, at the University Hospital in Besançon.
All the women involved in the study were aged between 18 and 35, although the professor was keen to stress that the group were not a representative of the global population of females.
After regularly measuring women who were not wearing bras the scientists concluded that “on average their bosoms lifted on average seven millimetres in one year in relation to the shoulders.”
Capucine, a 28-year-old woman who participated in the professor’s in-depth study, hasn’t worn a bra for two years, and swears by the results.
“There are multiple benefits: I breathe more easily, I carry myself better, and I have less back pain,” Capucine said.
Despite the groundbreaking results of his study Rouillon advised certain women not to immediately throw away all their bras in the bin.
“It would be of no benefit to a 45-year-old mother to stop wearing a bra,” he warned.

Trying to imagine buxom women running around bra-less? Can you go without a bra?
