Victorias Secret Selling Cancerous Bras
Scientists have proven that breast cancer is in fact caused by bras, so they put it
to the test! This year scientist have come up with some supporting statistics that 85% of
women who do not wear bras are not at risk for breast cancer. Those who do wear
bras are at a high percentage of 96 in getting breast cancer (Cancer Blogs). Wearing
these leading companies bras like Victorias Secret is a prime factor in this epidemic.
Reading the following will inform the community on some of the effects of bras, and how
these companies are influencing the cancerous merchandise upon their loyal customers
.
There are many benefits from not wearing Victorias Secrets bras one obvious
benefit is extreme comfort, but in addition to that life! It was proven that Victorias
Secrets bras stimulate red blood cells in the breast causing tumors, leading to a once
rare, now fast growing breast cancer (Cancer Blogs). Medical Student Imani Fields
states , These cancer causing bras are something vicious we have never seen before!
I think that everyone should go under extreme conditions and stop wearing bras all
together until further notice. CNN news contacted Victoria's Secret to get a comment
on the claims against their companies bras. (CNN Late Night News)They did reply,
indeed stating they do not believe there bras are the cause of any disease and will

continue to be the top selling company. CNN also contacted JcPenney, Victorias Secret
competition to get a reply on the statement that Victoria's Secret has made. JcPenney
stated they are working on cancer free bras and plan to release them in January of
2015. JcPenney has come with up a new formula in the bra that does not cause
pressure to the breast tissue, it has a new technology that generates a genetic
replication of white blood cells that would fight off any disease( Cancer Blogs). In
addition to that they have also come up with a bra with radiation inside the pads for
those who believe they have breast cancer or in high risk of having breast cancer (CNN
Late Night News).
During this time there is also a little bit of controversy with Victoria Secret and
there take on the situation. They just released their new pink colored bra supporting
breast cancer survivors. This surprises their customers when Victoria's Secret is
supposedly the main reason why this may be occurring. Previous customers are now
rioting outside of Victoria's Secret headquarters in New Albany, Ohio and reciting chants
like "Victoria tell your secret!". Medical Clinics are now handing out sports bras to hold
over many women in this crisis, they are filling up fast with patients. A lot of Victoria's
Secret customers feel used, there has been multiple lawsuits filed against Victoria
Secret due to false claims of cancer free bras (CNN Late Night News).
Scientist have come out with a list of symptoms that you should look out for that
include; itchiness, rashes, blood clots, tumors, and much more (Cancer Blog). It is
advised for you to get checked out by your doctor immediately. Causes of this may
consist of wearing underwire bras, lace bras, and bras of the wrong size. Kim

Kardashian has actually been reported of having some of these side effects in the
Weekly News magazine because of Victoria's Secret bras. She claims that she will no
longer be supporting their business due to the "over priced diseased bras and
unacceptable rashes".(Weekly News)
All in all, CNN encourages everyone to take their own precautions with the
situation at hand, they insist that everyone get rid of all Victoria's Secret bras
immediately. With that said more than 1 million people have been pre-ordering the
JcPenney non-cancerous bras, and Victoria's Secret has had a massive decline in their
sales (CNN Late Night News). Oprah gives a closing statement in the Weekly News
magazine stating that what companies do to there customers is greatly frowned upon
she agrees that bras are dangerous to women and it should be banned
permanently(Weekly News). Scientist are still in the process of bringing it to everyones
attention. Spread the word fast before its too late.
