How seemingly innocent clothing choices endanger your health…. And how to protect yourself!

Did you know that:

• Wearing a bra, especially a tight one, can increase your chance of developing breast cancer.
• Synthetic fibers are such a burn hazard that the U.S. military prohibits troop from wearing them off base.
• Man-made fibers in sportswear can reduce an athlete’s competitive edge.
• Close-fitting synthetic underwear can contribute to infertility in men.
• Adequate testing has not been done to determine whether fabric additives, such as insecticides and metals, can safely be in constant contact with human skin.

Man-made clothing fibers, such as nylon, spandex, and Teflon, have only replaced cotton, wool and silk over the last sixty years.  During this time there’s been a significant increase in health problems that may be associated with wearing synthetic garments: fertility problems, respiratory disease, contact dermatitis, and cancer.
