Does pad in the bra predisposes to cancer??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it is not: Below is a link to the American Cancer Society outlining breast cancer risks. http://www.cancer.org/cancer/breastcancer/detailedguide/breast-cancer-risk-factors According to the ACS: "There is no good scientific or clinical basis" to suggest that bras have anything to do with increased breast cancer risk.
