A new study by a French scientist claiming that bras "are not needed" is causing controversy on the web.
Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon, a sports scientist from the University of Franche-Comte in Besancon, spent 15 years studying 330 French women with varying bust sizes. He claims that from his research, wearing bra's may be doing harm to women's figures.
Proffesor Rouillon's study consisted of the scientist instructing the women to not wear a bra for a specific amount of time, spanning from a few months to several years. Throughout the trial, Rouillon took bust measurements using callipers and a slide rule.
