Skin and Spandex

Our skin is like a the protector or armour if you like of all our internal organ, bloods, lymphatic system and all the other stuff in between. Unlike our furry friends its exposed and more vulnerable to outside conditions and what ever else we decide to put on it. Here is the problem, we are putting on ourselves toxic substances that can be easily absorbed and cause serious health issues with time.

Let me name a few:

  • Hormone replacement - a known carcinogen
  • Chemically based sunscreens (check pubmed for clinic trials on sunscreens)
  • Perfumes, creams, and all unnatural moisturisers - most of them
  • Sorbolene and vaseline which is petroleum based

What I want to talk about here is SPANDEX, which used to be known as Lycra. Spandex has large amounts of PBC-plastics. When you wear it and sweat in the heat ....need I say more? By now most people know to avoid using plastic unless they're really careful to avoid heating them. Once a plastic drink bottle or container is heated, toxins leach into the contents. It shocks me food is still served and heated in plastic and honestly it should be made illegal.

Your children are the most precious thing to you. Teach them the dangers in our food/clothing/containers supply so that they get a chance to grow healthy and strong without serious illness. Lets all go back to wearing cotton, just remember to wash before wearing a new garment.

All, yes all clothing is dipped in formaldehyde after manufacturing. Read the labels folks, it always says wash before wear. Regrettably, however, spandex also has a significantly detrimental environmental impact after it is introduced into the consumer market. Keep in mind spandex is found in nearly everything these days, not only exercise gear. It is mixed in all materials because of it's elasticity. In underwear and everything else so read clothing labels like you would food labels.
