There
is so much in the news about breast cancer that it can be hard to weed out the
good advice from the bad. Health Briefs TV shares some good news about breast
cancer risks with readers. Sources taken from ABC News.
Most
women have heard at one time or another, (we certainly have) that wearing an
underwire bra can increase the risk of developing breast cancer. This is not
true according to a recent, well-researched study. Bras of any size underwire
or not, do not increase the risk. What a relief.
Breast
implants do not increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Those who work
in mammography take more detailed images of women with breast implants.
Deodorant
and antiperspirants do not increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Some do have aluminum-based compounds, which
some experts thought are cancer-causing, but it has been proven in numerous studies
that this is not true.
Coffee
and caffeine do not increase the risk of developing breast cancer. The coffee beans contain a good amount of antioxidants
which are beneficial to overall good health. The Health Briefs TV show can also relate
that coffee can reduce pain, improve memory and circulation. So have a cup or
two.
The
electromagnetic field emanating from power lines does not increase the risk of
developing breast cancer. There have been many reputable studies which proved
this theory wrong. So enjoy life under
the wires.
While
there are some other theories out there about what can increase the risk of
developing breast cancer, these are the most common misconceptions. Of course,
the best advice will come from your doctor.
