6. Small Breasted Women Are Less Likely to Develop Breast Cancer
This is one of the most prevalent types of cancer, and given how many lives it touches, misinformation about breast cancer tends to spread quickly and deeply. One of the most stubborn myths is that breast cancer risk is tied to breast size, but there is no truth to that claim.

All women – regardless of their bra size – should perform regular self-exams and recommended annual screening.
