  1. It’s apparently a myth that wearing bras has anything to do with breast cancer. Here’s a site that explores how the rumor might have started: http://www.center4research.org/wmnshlth/…
    You should be wearing a sports bra when you do active sports. Too little support can stretch connective tissue and cause pain.

  2. There has been some evidence that it may subtly increase your chances but most doctors say that most women want something to blame and something they can control about how to prevent the disease but there is no substantial evidence that this is the cause so continue to wear the sports bra, it will more than likley not affect your health in any way shape or form except for the fact your breasts will remain perkier.

  3. Most likely not.
    But it does increase your chances to start sagging because there is no support.

  4. No, it doesn’t increase your chance of breast cancer.
    That’s just a myth.
