    Dear Kute Kiddo,

    This is the information which I received. I am sharing with you as well as others.

    In the "Bra and Breast Cancer Study" in the United States, it was
    discovered that women with breast cancer had a history of sporting
    tighter and longer bra-wearing than did the women who had not (yet)
    developed the disease. In fact, virtually all of the cancer group
    wore bras over 12 hours daily with 18% even sleeping with their bras
    which means they wore bras 24 hours daily. In contrast, the comparison
    groups had 25% of the women either bra-free or wearing bras less
    than 12 hours daily. Only 3% of this group slept with their bras
    on. This study revealed a significant link between bras and breast
    cancer that is three times greater than the link between cigarette
    smoking and lung cancer!

    There was a 125 fold increase in breast cancer incidence between
    women who were bra-free and those who wore bras 24 hours daily.
    Wearing a bra over 12 hours daily conferred a 113 fold increase in
    breast cancer incidence! Bras apply pressure to the breasts, especially
    to the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system consists of tiny,
    thin-walled vessels that drain from the breast tissue, removing toxins,
    cell debris, cancer cells, viruses, bacteria, and other products
    from the breasts. All of our tissues drain through the lymphatics,
    which is essentially the circulatory pathway of the immune system.

    However, unlike arteries and veins, these vessels have no internal
    pressure. As a result, they are easily compressed by external pressure
    (a bra, for instance) leading to the congestion of the tissues that
    would otherwise have been drained.

    When a woman wears a tight bra, she subjects her breasts to pressure,
    closing off the lymphatic pathway from the breast to the nodes.
    This causes fluid build-up, swelling, tenderness and cyst formation.
    Toxins must be flushed out via the lymphatics. However, a bra-constricted
    breast cannot adequately perform this cleansing process, resulting
    in toxin accumulation in the breast.

    Truthfully, bras are creating droopy, weak breasts...the breast relies
    on the bra for artificial support, the body loses its ability to
    support the breast by itself. This is why many women feel uncomfortable
    without a bra. What is the solution to breast cancer then? DON'T
    WEAR A TIGHT BRA! And maybe sleep without them. There is a remarkable
    success rate for recovery from fibrocystic breast disease within
    10 days to two weeks of going bra-free.
    Many women have tried going
    bra-less and recorded a miraculous improvement in their health!

    Hope this info helps.

    Regards

    Western diet increases breast cancer risk in Asian women

    My dear friends,

    A new study in China has found that Western diet increases the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal Asian women.


    Worldwide, breast cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer deaths after lung cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, and colon cancer.
    Although breast cancer rates are traditionally low in Asian countries, they have been steadily increasing in recent years, especially in developing countries sucu as India.
    The study published in the July issue of the Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarks & Prevention journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, looked at 1,602 women with breast cancer, aged 25-64, in Shanghai.
    The study found that postmenopausal Asian women who eat a “meat-sweet” or Western diet are at greater risk of developing breast cancer than those who eat a “vegetable-soy” diet, reported News Wise wire.
    The “meat-sweet” diet includes various meats like pork, poultry, beef and lamb and seafood as well as candy, dessert, bread and milk.
    The “vegetable-soy” pattern is associated with different vegetables, soy-based products, and freshwater fish.
    Researchers said the findings mark the first time that an association between a Western diet and breast cancer has been identified in Asian women.
    The transition in breast cancer risk has been attributed to environmental factors, possibly the incorporation of Western dietary patterns into traditional dietary habits as a part of broader socio-economic changes.

    And a same study will find that Chinese diet with excess increases the risk of cancer aswell... This is not what we eat but the quantity.

    Breast Cancer Awareness: Asking a favour for a good cause for women

    Dear ILites,

    I know you don't like me much and the moment you see the post is from TDU you may run away. But, this one is for a good cause of women and please do me a favour and go ahead, read and oblige.

    A favor to ask, it will only take a minute....

    Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is
    having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to
    meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an
    underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site
    and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the
    middle).

    This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors /advertisers use
    the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for
    advertising.

    Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

    Regards,

    TDU

    Re: A favour to ask in a good cause of women

    hi Tamizha,
    Great work!! Please keep it up! :clap I appreciate all the affort you put into Community Service and Upliftment of Women. I'll definitely pass on the word.

    I have one question! Is Mother Teresa in any way less than Madhuri Dixit? Both perform differently in different fields. Each one has a different set of audience. Mother Teresa may not receive a bulky fan-mail. Does that mean her work is not appreciated? Tell you what? Some of Madhuri's fans may not even be alive but for Mother's help.

    So, please don't be disheartened if you don't receive many replies. Most people may be hesitant, shy, not good in English ... or they may not have the time to reply. You know your deeds are good. That should give you peace of mind and tranquility. You don't need anyone to certify. And, you don't need this lecture from me. I'm So Sure about that. :)


    I apologize if I talked too mcuh.

    Regards,
    Sharada

    Re: A favour to ask in a good cause of women

    Dear Sharada,

    Your words of appreciation has lifted my spirits. Thanks a lot. Yes, I will continue with my work. Here, I felt that being a very noble cause of helping a woman to get free mammography for breast cancer treatment I was particular that as many ILites as possible if they visit the site is better.

    Regards,

    TDU
