Healthcare and clothing are deeply connected… One might find this statement a little bizarre till we go deeper into the matter… if we notice in our vicinity and among our social circle, the amount of cases of hormonal disrupting diseases, cancer, and auto-immune cases has increased in the last couple of decades…
Among other factors, our vibrant, odor-resistant, sweat-absorbent, water-resistant, and wrinkle-free clothing has a part to play… It is not an opinion but something that ancient schools of medicine have been saying and contemporary scientists, journalists, and healthcare professionals are researching and finding evidence.
Excerpt from an Article by Grist : Clothed in chemicals: A new book sheds light on the toxic substances we wear daily
“There are the brominated azobenzene disperse dyes, which give polyester clothes their bright colors, but can cause skin inflammation. There are the per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS or “forever chemicals,” which make clothes waterproof but are linked to thyroid disorders and cancer. There are carcinogens like formaldehyde, used for bleaching or to prevent mold, and hormone disruptors like NPEO, used as a cleaning agent. “
“It takes 26 seconds for a toxin to enter our body through the skin and join our bloodstreams,” says Mr Kashif Khan, the founder of DNA Company, a USA-based, DNA testing and Healthcare coaching enterprise…He goes on to add… Especially the polyester clothes…They have heavy doses of hormone-disrupting chemicals, The newer the fabric, the stronger the dose of the chemicals, e.g.; brand new trending yoga pants that are tight in the groin area could be the cause of some life-threatening diseases like cancer, infertility, endocrinal ailments, autoimmune conditions, etc.
Aden Wicker’s book “To Dye for”, reveals more secrets of chemical use in garments, in fast fashion, and most of these garments are never tested for toxicity even in a developed country like the USA.
However, The rest of the world has been steadfast in blindly following fashion brands from the USA …boosting the toxic industry’s sales in countries, that are still trying to stand on their feet.
