Bra does more harm than good
As a result of a 15-year study, French scientists from Besancon University, working under the guidance of Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon, came to the conclusion that the harm from wearing a bra is greater than the benefit it brings. It turned out that the bra does not help to reduce back pain and weakens the muscles supporting the breast, which contributes to its sagging.
For 15 years, the authors carefully evaluated the changes occurring with the breasts of 320 women using a ruler and a caliper. The age of the participants at the start of the study ranged from 18 to 35 years.
The results of observations showed that the nipples of women who constantly wore a bra, in relation to the shoulder line, on average annually dropped 7 millimeters more than the nipples of women who never wore this traditional item of women's toilet.
Of course, according to the former chief executive officer of one of the bra manufacturers John Dixey, there is no data according to which wearing a bra can prevent sagging breasts, women's breasts do not have muscle tissue, so it is pointless to talk about keeping it in good shape. Wearing a specific bra model does not have an irreversible effect on the breast. The bra gives the breast a shape and is designed to make wearing it beneficial.
However, Monsieur Rouillon himself warns that not all women should immediately get rid of bras. For example, it will not benefit women aged 45 and older, and also, possibly, women who are obese and have two or more children. He also notes that, despite the length of the study and the large number of participants, he in no way declares that the surveyed population is representative of the entire female population of the planet. The results obtained are preliminary and for their unambiguous confirmation, it is necessary to examine not several hundred, but about 30,000 women of different ages.
Well, a grant to meet him and success in scientific works :)
