Bra Cancer

An article is going around stating a link between wearing a bra will cause cancer. Of course you know that if I'm writing about it, it's pure nonsense. The article suggests this because of a single study done in 1995 that was published in a non-medical journal. This "study" is riddled with problems of course (seehttp://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-underwire-bras-cause-cancer/ for just one example of the critiques). 

It is interesting to note, that the authors of the study (and subsequent books) also suggest that sleeping on a tilted bed can prevent everything from Alzheimer's disease to impotence. They are quacks most assuredly.
