Marilyn Monroe slept in a bra to keep her assets firm and perky, according to Hollywood lore. A new study out of France suggests it might have been more effective for the screen goddess to go "au naturel" instead.

Researchers spent 15 years studying the breasts of over 330 French women, and concluded that wearing a bra does not prevent sagging or ease back pain as commonly thought. "Medically, physiologically, anatomically—breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity, Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon, from the University of Besançon, told France Info Radio. "On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra."

One study won't do. We need studies done in pairs. Mounds of data. Every drop of grant money must be milked. We cannot be detered by no-nothing boobs that deny science. Our best researchers need to rack their brains to come up with every possible means of testing, or go bust trying.

Your average 17 year old boy has done more research than that!

This study would have to be normed by subgroups such as cup size, age, and height-weight proportions. The sample is not really large enough to include those subgroups and be scientific. So another study demands to be done.

And for those who think this is superficial check again about how much money is spent annually on bras.

As the Terry Thomas character said in ITS A MAD, MAD, MAD, WORLD, “If American women stopped wearing brassieres the whole U.S. economy would collapse.”
