Okay, it's not what you are thinking! It's too cold to be serious tonight, so here's my take on a new medical discovery.
Breast size may indicate diabetes risk
The study, published in today's edition of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, suggests that women with a bra cup size of D or larger are almost five times more likely to develop diabetes than women with an A cup. Even after adjusting for a number of other factors that influence the risk of diabetes, such as obesity, diet, smoking and family history, the D cup women were still 68 per cent more likely to develop diabetes than women with an A cup. (Women with B and C cup sizes - the most common - saw their risk increase concomitant to cup size.)
Is this a new attempt to get women to ban the bra, again? If you don't wear one, will you then avoid diabetes, because you have no cup size? Are we going to have women stuffing themselves into A cups now? How are the women who burned their bras back in the 60's doing now? Yikes, that's a very unpleasant mental image. Will this silliness ever stop? Next it will be global warming causing cancer.
Speaking of global warming, it was -36 today in Edmonton, we had the worse ice fog I have ever seen in here. Crossing the Groat Road bridge was scary this morning. You couldn't see one bus length in front of you. Sort of like this video, but worse in the river valley and I was driving around 8:00 in the morning, the ice fog had already lifted quite a bit by 9:45 like in this video. It was still nasty. Ignore the language, but I was thinking the same thing too.
Bras and cold? Well, I was happy to have all the layers I could today. Cheer up it's going to be a balmy -19C by Saturday. HA.

I pray to God that there was a correlation with weight and BMI and not just bra size. Beacuse if there wasnt, the journal of the CMA should have its' standards of publication reevaluated.
Well that makes us women with A cups who remember their dateless nights in their younger years feel better. Does a padded bra or a D Cup stuffed with kleenix count?
Who knows jckirlan, we are getting bombarded with so many things that cause cancer now, it's like the econuts, hard to believe them and their "sky is falling" laments.
Pretty soon, we will have nothing left we can do or eat because it will either cause cancer or global warming.
Too funny canada goose, I'm one of those A cups myself. I still remember the guy in grade nine who tried to snap my bra strap, only I didn't wear one yet.
I think we are safe with the padded/kleenix bras. Or funnier yet, a few years ago they had a bra filled with water, that would have gone over big today in -36C weather, new trend, frozen bras!!!
Finally, us A cupper's get to thumb our noses at those D cupper's. Just kidding, it is serious if there is a correlation between cup size and diabetes, but it is tempting to at least grin a little.
Come on guys, I included a bad weather video, with swearing that you can comment on, you don't need to talk bras!
